OVER 1,000 fuel poor households in Gloucestershire are set to benefit from Warmer Homes Grants to install efficient affordable heating.
The Gloucestershire and South Gloucestershire Warm and Well partnership has been successful in bidding for £5m of funding to pay for the installation of affordable central heating systems in fuel poor households which includes homes in the Cotswolds.
National Grid established the £150m Warm Homes Fund with the assistance of Affordable Warmth Solutions using part of the proceeds from the sale of the company’s majority stake in its gas distribution business.
It will fund the installation of affordable heating solutions in fuel poor households which don’t use mains gas as their primary source of heat.
Anyone who is interested in applying for help with their heating, contact the Warm and Well Scheme on 0800 5003076.
