Winter Energy Support

Applications paused

Household Support Fund applications are paused due to the high volume we've received.

If you have submitted an application already, we will assess it within 2 months and contact you directly. To avoid delays in assessments, please be patient and we will contact you as soon as we can.

Applications will re-open Monday 6 January 2025

An award of £300 will be made to successful households. This will be made in 2 separate transactions of £150 each. Only one award for winter energy support will be made per household.

You can only apply if:

If successful, you will receive a payment to your bank account.
