They provide tailored advice and support depending on your needs, can offer home visits (based on the area) and provide small measures such as draught excluders, LED light bulbs and much more to help make your home more energy efficient.
Pocket Power empowers people on lower incomes to apply for discounts and switch to cheaper providers for their household bills like energy, broadband, phone and water. Residents referred to the service will be booked in for a 1-2-1 phone appointment to go through their situation.
Please can residents have details of their bills and benefits ready for the meeting.

The WISH+ referral hub is a way for Camden residents to get access to a range of Warmth, Income, Safety and Health services. You don’t need to know all the services available through WISH+ to refer, just that the individual you are referring might need some support to improve their health and wellbeing. WISH+ does not provide any services itself, but puts people in touch with the services they need after discussing these with them first. Some services do have eligibility criteria so are not available to all. You do need the consent of the resident to make a referral to WISH+ so that we can call them to discuss their needs.
