  • Community Action Norfolk’s collective oil buying scheme

    Thinking Fuel is Community Action Norfolk’s collective oil buying scheme.

    The price of heating oil is a big worry, with the price being unregulated, and unpredictable in recent months. A good way to get the best value and save money is to join a collective oil buying scheme.

    Thinking Fuel is a well-established, dependable, Norfolk based scheme that offers a fair, flexible, and accessible way to buy oil. CAN’s expert buyers negotiate the best possible prices for its members which eliminates the need to shop around. Everyone pays the same low price per litre.

    You do not have to pay to join and there is no obligation to buy.

    What will happen when Swifts arrive?
    The Norfolk Swift Response team will always:

    Show their identity cards when they visit you for the first time
    Be dressed in the team uniform
    Behave professionally and politely and respect your privacy and dignity
    Ensure you receive prompt, appropriate support and let you know if there is a delay
    With your agreement, and if appropriate, make ongoing referrals to other services and support
    Case study
    When Fred (73) had a fall, he pressed his alarm pendant for help. He wasn’t seriously injured and didn’t need an ambulance, so the Norfolk Swift team came to help him. They used inflatable lifting equipment to help him up off the floor and made sure he was okay. Because Fred had had a previous fall, the Swifts suggested a referral to the Falls Team to look at ways of reducing the risk of falls around the home.
