Home and Well is a countywide partnership project that sees Citizens Advice Hampshire, NHS Hampshire Southampton and Isle of Wight Clinical Commissioning Group, SSEN Distribution, SGN, Southern Water, Portsmouth Water and South East Water work together.

It launched in March 2020, providing a wrap-around support service for vulnerable people with health needs.

Last month it won the Customer Vulnerability Award at the nationwide Utility Week Awards.
