As the cold weather returns, it’s really important to know where to find the latest local and national guidance on support with fuel bills, energy schemes and tips to keep as warm as possible and stay safe and well. Look no further because over the past few weeks we’ve spent time trying to bring all of that information together in our Energy Efficiency Factsheet for you.
There have been some recent headline news about changes to government funding and eligibility criteria, particularly for pensioners. On the plus side the Household Support Fund is still available until April ’25 and help is available for the least energy efficient homes through the Great British Insulation Scheme .
There is still a lot of support available in Sheffield from statutory and voluntary organisations which is good to know . There’s also a lot of national guidance and self help information plus information in Easy Read.
We have tried to present information as clearly as we can and we would really welcome any feedback from you about the factsheet in the comments box below or by emailing info@disabilitysheffield.org.uk
We’d also love to hear from you if you’re aware of any information, scheme or service we’ve missed that you’d like to see included.
