Back on the Map are delighted to announce a new partnership with Independent Age which will see us working to support those 65+ in and around Hendon with the current energy crisis.
In particular, we will focus on combating the rising cost of living which is a concern for all residents – particularly those who are elderly or retired.
Our CEO Jo Cooper says it’s great to be working with Independent Age in what is a crucial time for energy
“With the cost of living seemingly showing no signs of slowing down, trying to assist every age group who are feeling the pinch is something we feel strongly about.
We’ve been successful in helping a number of local families through the Household Support Scheme and our Food Poverty projects but the over 65 age group has been somewhat left behind. This partnership with Independent Age we’re delighted to be addressing the gap and assisting even more of our community.”
Our team will be out and about on the streets offering energy saving solutions, as well as being an approachable friendly face in the community. If you or anyone you know is 65+ and may benefit from some simple energy saving solutions, contact us on 0191 514 7844 or email help@backonthemap.org to arrange a free home visit.
