Some feedback from people we’ve helped …

SDCE have been an immense help to my household from the first conversation … Their commitment to helping others is second to none.
I would recommend this service to anybody who is overwhelmed by energy costs during the Cost of Living crisis. While it can feel awkward talking about money and finances with people outside the family, all of the staff at SDCE have been so friendly throughout that it was so easy to engage with.
I was in a mess with my energy bill.  I was trying to sort it out myself but was getting nowhere.  SDCE helped by calling the energy provider and getting some sense out of them, at the same time relieving my feeling of overwhelm and frustration with it. I would highly recommend using this service, it is real support when things get difficult.
Sometimes when looking at options for help and potential funding it all gets very confusing, and I am never sure if the company is trustworthy.  Having SDCE to advise me made it so much easier.
The insulation company we used was excellent, emails to confirm appointments, and when I phoned to confirm something, there was a real person who helped immediately.  I didn’t pay a penny!  I am very happy with the results and looking forward to being warm this winter.
I would like to highly recommend Helen and SDCE, for all of the help and advice that I have received from them. I have also been given some items to help me and my family through the cold winter months. I wouldn’t know who to have gone to for help if I wasn’t referred to her.
