Charities & Community Groups
Supporting Charities to Deliver Energy Support
Charities and faith organisations play a vital role in supporting vulnerable households across the UK. Many of the families, elderly residents, and low-income individuals you work with are living in cold, inefficient homes often unaware that funded energy-efficiency improvements may be available to them.
At AEG, we partner with charities, churches, and community-based organisations to help eligible households access government-backed energy efficiency funding and affordable finance options.
Our goal is simple: reduce fuel poverty, improve living conditions, and strengthen communities together.

How the Partnership Works
A simple, fully managed process designed to reduce admin burden for your organisation.

Working With Community Groups to Tackle Fuel Poverty Together
Community groups are at the heart of local support networks across the UK. Whether you operate a community hub, housing association, faith centre, advice service, or resident association, you understand the real challenges households face especially rising energy costs and inefficient homes.
At AEG, we work alongside community organisations to help residents access funded energy-efficiency improvements and affordable finance options. Through trusted partnerships, we help deliver warmer homes, lower bills, and long-term community impact.
Why Community Partnerships Matter
Many households do not actively seek energy-efficiency support. They may be unaware of available funding, unsure about eligibility, or hesitant to engage with unfamiliar providers.
- Local trust and established relationships
- Direct contact with vulnerable households
- Insight into neighbourhood needs
- Access to hard-to-reach residents
By partnering with AEG, you connect your community to structured funding pathways and compliant delivery solutions without taking on additional administrative burden.
Who We Work With
We collaborate with trusted community organisations across the UK to reach households that need support most.
Funding & Financial Support Pathways
We provide access to nationally backed energy efficiency programmes and supplier-funded schemes designed to improve home performance improvements and reduce fuel poverty. Depending on eligibility, support may include:
- Fully funded energy-saving measures
- Partial funding contributions
- Flexible finance options
- No upfront cost for qualifying households
Not all funding routes require residents to receive benefits. In some cases, property type, EPC rating, or income level may determine qualification.
