Grants available

East End Energy Savers

A grant from the Energy Saving Trust has enabled the unit to set up a loan fund to assist residents in financing the installation of energy efficient measures in their homes.

The fund offers interest-free loans with repayment periods to suit your individual circumstances.

In addition the unit has negotiated discount rates with reputable energy efficiency installers, which are only available through the East End Energy Savers scheme.

We can also access grants for insulation and solar water heating.

Warm Front Scheme

The Warm Front Scheme is a government funded scheme which provides grants up to £2000 to make your home warmer, more energy efficient and more secure.

To be eligible for the scheme, you must be in receipt of a qualifying benefit and be a private sector resident (i.e. not Housing Association or Council tenant).

The grant focuses on households with the greatest health risks. Older people, families with children under the age of 16 years and people who are disabled get priority.
