South Tees Affordable Warmth Partnership Action Plan 2022
![](https://menvcity.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Action-Plan.png)
Covering both Middlesbrough and Redcar & Cleveland, the South Tees Affordable Warmth Action Plan 2020-2022 sets out how we can all combat the scourge of fuel poverty across the South Tees.
The impacts that fuel poverty has on physical and mental well-being cannot be understated. Likewise, the scale at which this area is experiencing it cannot be understated: Currently in Redcar & Cleveland, 12.1% of households are in fuel poverty; in Middlesbrough this rises to 15.4%. In total, this means that around 16,567 homes are in fuel poverty across South Tees.
This action plan should give some healthy insight into the steps being taken, and that will be taken, into combatting this complex problem. You can download the PDF via clicking the link below.
Smart meters are the new generation of gas and electricity meters, which replace the traditional meters in our homes. These are currently being rolled out to households and the Government intends that every home will have been offered a smart meter by 2024.
(more…)Our Affordable Warmth Team provides free help and advice including:
- One-2-One energy advice
- Fuel debt repayment advice
- Damp and condensation advice
- Understanding your energy bills
- Identifying any other energy efficiency help you may be entitled to

Jennys Pasta is now available in social supermarkets around Middlesbrough thanks to the extraordinarily hard work and dedication from researchers from Fuse, clinicians from Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust , Teesside University and the Middlesbrough Food Partnership alongside ourselves. Together, this amazing coalition worked with people living with SMI to develop a range of nutritious recipes that can be transformed into affordable ready meals using surplus ingredients. The first batch, Lentil Bolognese, is now available in social supermarkets across Middlesbrough.
The pilot is the culmination of earlier research into food insecurity in the North of England, as well as into how people living with SMI can be supported to access healthy, affordable food, which was hosted by Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust in collaboration with Teesside University, Newcastle University , Fuse and Equally Well UK (a collaborative hosted by the Centre for Mental Health), and funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research, as part of their NIHR Research for Patient Benefit – Mental Health in the North programme.
We are proud of the hard work done by the partners and by our phenomenal Middlesbrough Food Partnership team to make a real difference to those living with SMI and tackling food insecurity. Well done, everybody: The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and we're proud to have taken that first step alongside you all in this initiative.
