Help with Rising Heating Oil Costs
The price of heating oil has been particularly impacted by the conflict in the Middle East and is currently around double the price of crude oil. To help, the Government has announced over £50 million of funding to support low-income households in rural communities. This will be distributed through the new Crisis and Resilience Fund, which comes into effect from April, replacing the current Household Support Fund. As part of this fund, an oil fuel support scheme will launch in April.
If you’re vulnerable or struggling with the rising cost of heating oil/LPG, you may still be able to access support.
