Woodlands Food Table & Potters House.

🔔 Reminder – Home Heating Oil Support opened today

The Home Heating Oil Support Scheme opens today with eligible households able to apply for a £100 voucher to help with the cost of purchasing home heating oil.

👉🏼 Apply online via nidirect:
nidirect.gov.uk/services/home-heating-oil-support

📞 Need help applying?
Call the helpline on 0800 072 0266.

⚠️ Please note: If you are applying as part of a couple, or live in a multiple-occupancy home, only one person should apply.

Please share this information with anyone you think may be eligible and could benefit from the support.

I understand that many will not be eligible to apply and that remains really disappointing - this has been raised with both the department and British Government - additional support including for households on GAS MUST be found and made available ASAP. This is something my colleagues and I will continue to raise.
