Household Support Fund this Winter

Do you know any families with children and vulnerable people within our villages that might need help from the Household Support Fund? This is funding provided by the Department for Work & Pensions to help vulnerable households this winter:

Residents who have more severe heating needs can get help from the Welfare Support team on 01225 477277 https://beta.bathnes.gov.uk/apply-welfare-support and it would be really helpful if you could pass this message on, especially if some residents don’t have internet access.

B&NES Council do not receive many requests for help with kerosene or solid fuel and they know that it’s a huge expense for some households.
