A social enterprise is set to be appointed to lead a fuel support project in Glasgow which will offer a combination of “top-up payments and energy advice” over the winter.
The Wise Group, which aims to lift people out of poverty, has been selected as the preferred provider of a £1m council scheme to support citizens struggling with soaring energy costs.
It would be required to provide fuel top-ups for both pre-paid and billed meters, direct support to apply for fuel write-offs, negotiate fuel debt arrangement on behalf of clients and arrange meter switching and heating system upgrades on behalf of citizens.
