Affordable Warmth Grants for eligible residents

The grants, which are to help residents with the cost of heating their homes more efficiently this winter, will pay for warmth interventions such as servicing, repairing and replacing boilers and heating systems, loft and cavity wall insulation and glazing improvements. 

 

You may be eligible for a grant if you are a homeowner on a low income and suffer from health vulnerabilities, which include having cardiovascular and respiratory conditions, being diagnosed as disabled, aged over 65, pregnant or suffering from a mental health condition.

Councillor David Whipp, Leader of Pendle Borough Council, said: “More funding has now been allocated to protect those most at risk from cold or damp homes; and I hope those people eligible will take advantage of the grants available.”

Councillor Zafar Ali, the Council’s Portfolio Holder for Housing and Customer Services, added: "The Affordable Warmth Lancashire Fund aims to reduce levels of ill health over the winter months and improve people's wellbeing through affordable warmth interventions.

"Cold damp homes, particularly in winter, have numerous direct and indirect impacts on people's health and consequently on health and social care services.”
