Who won: GD3 Reach Out

About this contract

This project will deliver targeted, community-based energy advocacy across Gloucestershire, South Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire, focusing on minority and marginalised households who experience structural barriers to accessing safe, affordable energy services on participating GDNs' networks. The scope of the project is shaped by learning from GD2 Reach Out delivery, alongside demographic analysis and extensive stakeholder engagement. Evidence shows that communities including refugees, asylum seekers, migrants, and Gypsy, Roma and Traveller households are disproportionately affected by fuel poverty and energy vulnerability. Barriers such as limited English proficiency, digital exclusion, insecure or poor-quality housing, unfamiliarity with the UK energy system and mistrust of statutory services significantly reduce engagement with suppliers and mainstream advice channels. In Oxfordshire, growing diversity driven by sustained refugee and asylum dispersal, alongside increased reliance on temporary and private rented accommodation, has created areas of concentrated unmet need. Similar patterns continue across Gloucestershire and South Gloucestershire. Frontline organisations consisten
