Scarf has launched its new 2026–29 strategy, setting out an ambitious vision to tackle fuel poverty, improve energy efficiency, and support Scotland's transition to a low-carbon future.
Building on 40 years of frontline experience, the strategy outlines how the charity will expand support for households, strengthen partnerships, influence policy, and invest in digital services to increase its reach and impact across Scotland.
The strategy comes at a time when fuel poverty continues to affect households across the country, with Scarf committed to helping more people access practical support, improve the energy efficiency of their homes, and reduce energy costs.
David Mackay, Co-CEO of Scarf, said: "Our vision is a Scotland where no one lives in fuel poverty and every home contributes to a greener future. This strategy sets out how we'll continue supporting households while working with partners, communities, and decision-makers to create lasting change.
"Over the next three years, we'll build on our proven track record, expand our reach, and ensure even more people can access the support they need to live in warmer, healthier, and more affordable homes."
Alongside its core advice and support services, the strategy includes plans to strengthen policy influence, develop new partnerships, enhance digital services, and create new opportunities to invest in communities and tackle the root causes of poverty.
