1000 households
in the Congleton Constituency eligible for home heating help
MP urges residents to call today
New research from Home Heat Helpline shows 1000 Congleton Constituency
households are eligible for help to keep their home warm this winter in
conjunction with energy companies. As a
result, Home Heat Helpline (0800 33 66 99) is encouraging people to find out
what they could be entitled to.
Homes that may qualify include all those living in certain deprived areas
as well as low income pensioners, disadvantaged families with children or those
with a disability that live in a rural area.
Fiona Bruce
MP said:
“I recognise
this as a real concern for many of my constituents. Many people may not know
where to turn for free advice on keeping their homes warm. One of the best ways
for people in this area to stay warm this winter is to act now, and call the
Home Heat Helpline on 0800 33 66 99 to see if they’re eligible for help.”
Last year, 98 per cent of eligible households may have missed out on free
advice and support because they did not call the independent Helpline.
The British
Energy Aid Report, carried out by the New Policy Institute on behalf of Home
Heat Helpline, showed that one in eight
British homes across Great Britain is entitled to relief, a total of 3.2
million households.
