A new energy fund has been established by Warwick District Council and local charity Act on Energy to support vulnerable residents who require emergency heating.

The Warwick Energy Fund offers emergency heating for private residents (owner-occupier or private tenant) in Warwick district who have a broken boiler or are without heating for other reasons. If eligible, any affected resident will be sent up to three electric heaters to help heat their home.

To reduce energy bills, Act on Energy will also be able to provide the affected residents with ongoing support in relation to energy debt management, and access to any grants such as the Warm Homes Local Grant scheme, to retrofit their home and improve its energy efficiency.

If you or someone you know is a private owner occupier or private tenant, live in Warwick district and are currently living without heating, contact Act on Energy by telephone 0800 988 2881 or email: [email protected]
