Reaching People is delighted to welcome Taruna Mistry to the Moneywise Living team as a new Advisor. Taruna will help the charity strengthen its support for vulnerable residents facing rising energy costs and financial pressures.
Taruna will use her knowledge and experience to help people better understand their energy use, access financial support and become aware of the benefits available to them. A key part of her work involves guiding residents through government websites related to energy, pensions and financial assistance - areas that can often feel overwhelming without support.
Additionally, Taruna will help individuals tap into local grants and initiatives, including schemes such as the Green Doctor programme and support from the Leicester City Council energy team. This ensures that people receive practical help to improve energy efficiency and reduce household costs.
Alongside her work with Moneywise Living, Taruna is also an Energy Efficiency Advisor with Green Fox Community Energy in Leicester and a CIC Director, delivering wellbeing-focused projects that promote keeping fit, staying active and supporting mental health. She is also involved with Leicester Community Links CIC, a community organisation that has been running for five years, delivering wellbeing projects to promote better physical and mental health.
With experience working with a broad range of individuals and groups, Taruna has a strong track record of supporting diverse and vulnerable communities. Her bi-lingual skills also allow her to reach people who may otherwise face barriers to accessing information and support.
