New Wiltshire Crisis Resilience Oil Fund

New Wiltshire Crisis Resilience Oil Fund

A new Government fund has gone live to support low-income households in Wiltshire who are struggling with the high cost of heating oil.

The Wiltshire Crisis Resilience Oil Fund is for Wiltshire households who use oil to heat their home and meet the eligibility criteria. If an application is successful, a one-off payment will be made directly to a heating oil supplier.

We do not think many residents in Melksham Without use oil for heating, but please do share this with anyone who may benefit, particularly those living in more rural or isolated areas.

Full details, including who can apply and what evidence is needed, are available here:https://voucherfund.co.uk/wilts-crf-oil/

For questions, the advice line numbers listed on the website are 0800 138 5570 or 0800 038 5722.
