About Us - Marches Energy Advice

Who we are and what we stand for

Marches Energy Advice (MEA) is a charity dedicated to helping people live with dignity at home, where cold doesn’t affect physical and mental health, and staying warm is more affordable. We work to ensure that no one should choose between warmth and wellbeing, and that high energy bills don’t cause stress or hardship.

What we are working towards

Vulnerable householders being supported to live in homes where staying warm is not a concern.

Flexible, compassionate crisis support to be available to those who need it most, to mitigate the impacts of cold homes while longer-term interventions are arranged.

Support agencies, local authorities, and communities to work together to share knowledge to create vibrant and resilient places.

Promoting trusted local companies to install energy saving measures that work, and which use a local workforce, thereby helping to retain money in our local economies.

Well-informed householders making their homes more energy efficient, warmer and cheaper to run, producing significantly less carbon and generating their own power.

What people say

Our customers’ stories say it best—real experiences of warmth, efficiency, and heartfelt relief brought home by MEA.

Very helpful with lots of advice about energy efficiency, looking at the cost of using different electrical devices on the app. The advisor was very friendly and went above and beyond to help us and provided lots of help and support.

Well, what can I say as Thank You seems so insufficient.

I’m sat here hugging a beautiful soft grey heated throw blanket and I refuse to move.

There’s every possibility I might remain sat here until Monday! Thank You so much. I must admit when I opened the box and realised what was in it a small tear escaped my eye.

The advisor was thorough, attentive and gave practical advice that work perfectly for my home. He listened carefully, answered all my questions and helped me make best use of my space for heating. I am very grateful for the support and efficiency of the solutions provided.

Thanks so much for looking into the installer for us. We both feel more at ease after your advice and certainly more informed to make the decision and question the installation team. Thank you once again for all your help and being so patient with my mum and I.

Thank you very much indeed for your help with this project, I am a disabled person with Parkinson’s disease, and mostly housebound now. A warmer household is something to look forward to and puts my mind at ease for the future.
