As the hard winter months approach, struggling Coalville residents will be able to access free advice on keeping their homes warm and get support on lowering their energy bills by calling the new YES Warmer Homes Advice Line. YES Energy Solutions, a Community Interest and a social enterprise, committed to helping as many people as possible to live in more affordable and efficient warm homes, has launched this new service and is urging people to call for free advice and support.

So far, the community company has given away nearly 3,000 packs. Coalville residents are urged to text ADVICE to 82228 or call 03301 359 110 to receive their pack and get tailored support.

Duncan McCombie from YES Energy Solutions, says: "It's tough out there, and we understand the huge challenges posed by high energy prices and the cost-of-living crisis across the county. If you're struggling with your bills or just want some help getting to grips with your energy use ready for the winter, we're here for you.
