“We are forever grateful to YES Energy Solutions for funding this work for us which will make a huge difference to the charity and the vulnerable people we support.
“The old heating wasn’t fit for purpose with winters in the properties extremely cold which affected the resident’s mental health at a time when we were trying to create stability for the people we take in.
“The cold can lead to feelings of depression which spiral into thoughts of substance use and cause a relapse, so having a warm and comfortable place to live is vital for them.”
