Applications now open for £9m heating bill help fund for people struggling during cost of living crisis
A further £9 million has been made available to help people in Scotland who are struggling to heat their homes due to soaring energy bills and the cost of living.
It includes over £1.15 million in fuel vouchers for vulnerable prepayment meter customers, delivered in partnership with PayPoint and the Post Office. Great-grandmother Veronica Daly told how the Home Heating Support Fund had been “an absolute god send” after she received a grant of £800 to help with soaring bills. The 71-year-old, from Glasgow, had been rationing her energy use to save money, but said the payment means she can now “breathe again”.
Alternatively, applications can be made through Advice Direct Scotland, or through an accredited partner organisation. Advice Direct Scotland, which runs energy advice service energyadvice.scot, said there had been a growing need for support over the past three years.
