The project was a huge success and really rnade a difference. li helped reduce the debt of many people in the borough. Not only did we clear or reduce Iheir energy debts. but for some residents. this also prevented them from accumulating other debts. Many individuals reported improvements in their mental heafth because of our support. even when TNe couldn't completely ciear their debts. Negotiating payTnent plans with energy companies can be a stressful challenge on their own. and by handling this for them. we were able to secure more manageable agreements.

Many people already had smart meter5 bul were unaware of the infonnaticw) available on the meter and the 'ln Home Display, so we were able to explain this allowing them to benefit from the full range of functions available. Across our team we can speak Ihe 3 most commonly spoken community languages as well as English meaning we could provide inforniation and 9uidance to people who would have been exduded from visual Frompts around smart meters. Through a radio inteThiew conducted in English and Urdu. with some points reiterated in Punjabi and Bengali, newspaper and magazine articles. posters and the electronic billboard in Blackbum town centre. we provided inlomation about smart meters to around 767.300 people and delivered training for 60 fronuine staff on the benefrts, installation proGe5s and use of smart gas and electricity rneler5.
