PEOPLE in Penarth are being encouraged to keep their warmth and wellbeing top of the list throughout 2015.

The scheme, Health Through Warmth, by npower works with a range of community organisations, charities and local authorities to assist vulnerable homeowners with the funding and installation or repair of crucial heating measures in the home.

This month, the scheme is raising awareness of the importance a warm home has on health, particularly for people with conditions which could be made worse by cold weather.

Homeowners who have a long-term illness, a low income with little or no savings and who are unable to fully fund heating measures in their homes may be able to benefit from the scheme.

As part of the scheme’s wider work to raise awareness, npower Health Through Warmth has partnered with charity National Energy Action to support the development of an energy advice DVD – The Heat Is On – which is available at www.nea.org.uk.
