    Commitment sponsorship
    - Key agencies such as the Department for
    Work & Pensions, Pensions Service,
    Citizens Advice and Age Concern
    - Voluntary & other stakeholder organisations
  • A high level “Champion” within the local community to ensure the profile and momentum are maintained
  • Ambition, drive and capacity to deliver the business plan and develop partnerships
  • Funding for feasibility activity and planning phase
  • An Affordable Warmth policy

As part of our portfolio of services, Warm Zones Limited can help you to develop strategies to address any gaps and to build a robust business plan.

Warm Zones has developed an Essential Ingredients Checklist that can help you to assess your readiness for a Warm Zone in your area. The checklist is designed to identify those areas of existing strength and areas where more work needs to be done.

Warm Zones Limited can help you to address gaps by suggesting solutions and strategies tailored to your individual circumstances and requirements.

Click here to download our Essential Ingredients Checklist. This details the key elements that should be in place before a Warm Zone can be established.  Please give your best view of your organisation's state of readiness by completing the 'Scores' column. A score of 1 indicates little or no work has been done in a particular category whilst a score of 10 indicates full readiness. The completed form will enable you to systematically identify those areas where additional work needs to be focused.

You require the Adobe Acrobat Reader plugin to view and print the checklist. Click here to download the plugin.
