Gov UK Grants – Home Improvement Scheme 2022
Gov UK Grants – Home Improvement Scheme 2022
There are an increasing number of people who are being classed as being in fuel poverty due to the massive increase in gas prices for 2022.
We anticipate that the figure will grow year on year by as much as 200 thousand per year.
We do not expect the government to assist people financially with direct payments being paid to people to help pay their bills.
The only way to insure against this is to make sure your home is as efficient as possible with adequate insulation and bring your heating up to date.
