Too oſten, vulnerable people who are already struggling with ill health are also struggling with fuel poverty. The frustration for care agencies is to help these people in a way that is cost effective, fit for purpose and convenient. The Charis bundles contain a range of energy efficiency measures, heated wearables and soſt furnishings which provide immediate relief from the cold. Through the Charis Shop, agencies can order exactly what is needed and have it delivered direct to their patients and clients.

"Living in a cold home is physically debilitating for people, which makes recovery from ill health more difficult. This further damages their mental wellbeing. Through partnering up with agencies across the health and care sector patients can experience immediate relief from the impact of cold homes due to the carefully curated contents of the bundles."


Each bundle is designed to solve a particular problem. The Heat the Home package includes simple-to-install radiator
