Sheffield's Broomhall Centre extends energy advice and CO alarm support for vulnerable residents

Broomhall Centre in Sheffield will continue providing free energy efficiency advice and carbon monoxide alarms to vulnerable residents after Cadent extended its Centre for Warmth partnership. Since 2024, the centre has delivered nearly 2,800 pieces of energy advice and distributed 258 CO alarms, funded through Ofgem's Vulnerability and Carbon Monoxide Initiative. Cadent reported a record 40,000 additional users across its centres last year, showing growing demand for this kind of support. The extension ensures local households can access practical help with energy bills, safety checks, and income advice through trusted community partners. For residents facing cost-of-living pressures, this service offers a direct way to reduce energy use and avoid carbon monoxide risks. The programme also highlights how utility-funded initiatives can deliver measurable benefits at the local level.
