This will involve home visits with ‘hard to reach’ households, enabling the provision of energy advice and information as well as efficiency measures.

Complementing ongoing doctoral research on the role of energy advice within the wider context of approaches to tackling fuel poverty and supporting those affected, the Eaga CT bursary will enable additional research: facilitating shared learning; developing and disseminating research findings; building professional links and identifying future research opportunities; and, working collaboratively to produce research-related outputs.

This additional work will be supervised by Graeme Sherriff, Sustainable Housing & Urban Studies Unit (SHUSU, Salford University), who are also undertaking separate but related evaluative research activity as the research partners for the Gluasad Comhla project.
