Simple energy tips; as a quick fix, putting aluminium foil behind radiators, on an outside wall will help reflect more heat back into the room for very little outlay. One of a number of small changes that can make a big difference.
Christmas Closure: Beat the Cold will be closing on 24 December, and will be back on 04 Jan 2021. Happy a safe and happy Christmas and New Year

Beat the Cold is still open, and working hard to support all those households having problems with their energy bills or provider. We are still able to support anyone whose health may be made worse by living in a cold home. Call 01782 683813 for anyone in Staffordshire

Beat the Cold's offices are now closed to secure the safety of our staff, but our phone lines are open, and we are fully staffed. Tel : 01782 683813. Understandably, we cant carry out any home visits at the moment. Stay Safe !!
Beat the Cold is having a few problems with the phone lines at the moment. If you are struggling to get through, either mail us at [email protected], or message us on Facebook. Please re-tweet this, and we will update when the problem is fixed

A great day allowing us to share common problems in fighting fuel poverty for the most vulnerable. Thanks @EnergyRedressUK and especially @KatieReville for all your support.
We checked in with @beatcold, one of the successful applicants to the #EnergyRedress scheme. They have delivered 115 home visits so far, to ensure that those who are at risk of cold related illnesses are able to keep warm and well in their own homes. Keep up the great work!
