Free energy advice and practical support for households
LEAP (the Local Energy Advice Partnership) is a free energy advice and money-saving service delivered as part of Aran's wider resident support offering.
Since 2015, LEAP has helped thousands of households across England, Wales and Scotland reduce their energy costs and improve comfort in their homes.
Through a referral to LEAP, residents can access expert energy advice, practical assistance and support schemes that help tackle fuel poverty, reduce financial pressures and improve wellbeing.
Helping Housing Providers and Local Authorities Tackle Fuel Poverty
Through the LEAP service, local authorities and housing providers can connect residents with practical energy advice, financial assistance and additional support to help them manage household energy costs and stay warm at home.
LEAP provides a valuable additional route to support households who may not qualify for other energy efficiency measures but still need assistance.
By partnering with Aran, your organisation can:
- Tackle fuel poverty by identifying and supporting vulnerable residents struggling with energy costs
- Reach more households by providing access to additional support for residents who may not qualify for existing funding schemes
- Deliver measurable social value through improved household wellbeing and opportunities for local employment
- Connect residents with financial assistance, including benefits, grants and schemes such as the Warm Home Discount
- Access free training and referral guidance to help your teams identify and support eligible households.
- Benefit from dedicated partner resources, including marketing materials and practical support through the LEAP Partner Resource Hub
