Warmer Homes Scheme

Welcome to Energy Action

Established in 1988, Energy Action is Ireland’s first community-based energy project to address the problem of fuel poverty in Dublin. Energy Action has insulated 35,000 homes since its inception and has also supported several community-based organisations in other parts of the country through pilot schemes to develop their own capacity to tackle fuel poverty. The service is provided through the Better Energy Warmer Homes Scheme administered by the Sustainable Energy Authority Ireland.

COMMUNITY EMPLOYMENT SCHEME

“Delivering training and upskilling participants through valuable work experience”

The Community Employment (CE) programme is designed to help people who are long-term unemployed (or otherwise disadvantaged) to get back to work by offering part-time and temporary placements in jobs based within local communities.

Participants can take up other part-time work during their placement. After the placement, participants are encouraged to look for permanent jobs elsewhere, based on the experience and new skills they have gained while on a Community Employment scheme.
