Description
An extension has been put in place for 3 VCMA projects, Fuel Poverty Awareness Training, Green Doctors Energy Matters and GEMS - Groundworks Energy Management Services. All 3 projects have gone really well in the first year and have genereated a positive SROI. The projects that have been submitted by Groundwork are unique in that nothing currently exists in the region in terms of these 3 specific project objectives. Green Doctors have no provision in the NE currently and this extensaion will enable Groundwork to extend their scope and reach of their projects. There is no other service provider who currently delivers a 1 day Fuel Poverty Awareness course and the Groundwork Energy Management Service project, is not offered by anyone else in Yorkshire. The Green Doctor Project is a partnership project with Northern Powergrid however, this is the first time it has been extended into the NE. Groundwork have extensive reach into those customers living in fuel poverty and struggling with heat or eat decisions. This opens up opportunities to engage with those households in terms of energy switching, energy efficiency (small measures installation) and other associated services, such as PSR registrations and CO awareness. This is key and will reach both urban and rural communities. The FP Awareness course is delivered to front line workers who NGN can not reach. As a trusted intermediary this is something Groundwork delivers on our behalf. Stakeholder engagement throughout 2020 & 2021 told us that access to many of these services is becoming increasingly difficult (energy advice/small measures) and has been compounded by the pandemic. Green Doctors are well established in Yorkshire however, there is currently a gap in this service provision in the NE of our network which these projects will address.

Indicators
- Contract modified due to additional needs.
Legal Justification
The GEMS scheme provides an energy management service to community/charitable organisations who are based in buildings that have poor thermal energy efficiency, high running costs and would benefit from support & advice on how to reduce their costs, increase efficiency & to implement an energy management system for future sustainability. The need for this resource is still very real, so we are looking to extend for a further 2 years with additional spend for this GEMS project.
