Surviving Winter: Grants to Help

Are you an older person who spends more than 10% of your income on fuel. Do you need additional support to heat your home and eat properly in the cold weather?

A Surviving Winter grant may help. You must live in Wiltshire or Swindon Borough to apply.

A grant of £125 could assist you with:

· Paying your fuel bill
· Purchasing oil
· Purchasing an oil heater
· Purchase of coal
· Topping up your electricity
· Purchasing a pair of warm slippers and a blanket

Depending on your circumstances you may be able to apply for additional support and we may also consider applications from other individuals in need who are disabled or suffering extreme hardship.
