Working in Partnership with Home Group to Tackle Fuel Poverty for Over 200 Homes

Working in partnership with our housing association client Home Group, we have supported over 200 of its customers with grants that can be put towards the cost of their energy bills.

The grants provided by the Home Group Fund, an initiative set up in 2017 to support the housing association’s customers in times of crisis or need, will be funded by a donation from Ideal Heating through our Corporate Social Responsibility Fund (CSR) to support the initiative.

Set up in 2015, the CSR Fund provides funding for projects run by our social housing clients that support their communities. Housing associations that install our boilers and register their warranty can claim £5 per boiler towards their own individual funds which can then be used to support any local scheme.

Dan Curran, key accounts executive for social housing in the North East, Ideal Heating, said:

Harry Drennan, senior procurement category manager, Home Group:

Home Group initially began in 1935 delivering homes in the North East and now supports over 113,000 customers across 55,000 properties in England and Scotland.

We have been supporting Home Group to retrofit and upgrade the heating systems of properties since 2019.
