🌡️ New Grant Offers Free Heating Upgrades for Burton’s Most Vulnerable Homes |
Because nobody should have to choose between heating and eating |
A new phase of the Staffordshire Warmer Homes scheme has just opened - and it’s offering free heating and insulation upgrades to households who need them most.
The newly launched ‘Warm Homes: Local Grant’ is aimed at helping those struggling with cold homes, high energy bills, or health conditions made worse by chilly living conditions. If that sounds familiar, you may be eligible for fully funded home improvements like loft or wall insulation, modern heating systems, solar panels, and smart heating controls.
The scheme is being run by Staffordshire County Council in partnership with local district and borough councils (including our own in East Staffordshire), and it’s designed to make homes warmer, healthier and - importantly - cheaper to heat.
🗣️ Cllr Martin Rogerson, Cabinet Member for Health and Care, said:
Funding is limited and expected to be snapped up quickly. Priority will go to households on lower incomes, those facing financial hardship, and people with health conditions made worse by cold homes.
💻 How to apply
If your home’s more icebox than haven this winter, it’s worth checking—this grant could turn up the heat without turning up your bills. |
