Save
Cash and Reduce Fuel (SCARF) is a registered charity which
was established to alleviate fuel poverty. It
provides householders, businesses and organisations with independent,
free and impartial advice on sustainable use of energy that
will not only reduce the amount of energy they use or save
them money on fuel bills, but give them a warm, dry environment
that puts less strain on natural resources and combats climate
change.
Currently
SCARF does not provide any funding but it can provide a wide
range of information and advise on access to funding to carry
out improvements
