Rushmoor Fuel Poverty Summit – working together to support communities across Rushmoor

On Monday, 18th September the NHS Frimley North East Hampshire and Farnham place team invited partners from across heath, education, social care and the voluntary sector to the Fuel Poverty Summit.

The summit was an opportunity for partners across Rushmoor to hear all about local initiatives available and how professionals working with residents and communities can help them to access these services this winter. As well as an opportunity to network with other agencies.

Speakers included:

• Citizens Advice Rushmoor
• Rushmoor Borough Council
• Hampshire County Council
  o Hitting the Cold Spots service
  o Household Support Fund
• The Vine Centre, Aldershot

The team is now looking to host similar events for the Hart and Waverley areas.

Feedback from those that attended was very positive, including:

“Great to meet local organisations and get a snapshot of the work and potential opportunities to work together.”

“Thank you for organising this very informative event. It was great to have updates from all the services which I’ve used a lot last year and great to know they are continuing to support this year too.”

“Extremely useful. I will be sharing with the wider Integrated Care Team.”
