Mid Sussex District Council is encouraging people who struggle to pay their energy bills and keep their homes warm to apply for Government support before applications close on 31 March 2022.

The Green Homes Grant scheme offers energy saving home improvements like insulation, renewable heating systems and double glazing to people on low incomes who live in homes with a low energy rating. The improvements on offer help residents to reduce their energy bills, make their homes warmer and more comfortable and lower their carbon emissions.

The scheme, which is funded by the UK Government, is being delivered by Warm works on behalf of Mid Sussex District Council. Warm works help eligible households by arranging a survey of their home and recommending a package of improvements to make it more energy efficient. Installations are carried out by an approved and trusted contractor at no cost to the householder, and Warm works are on hand to support residents through the process.

Residents can find out if they are eligible for the Green Homes Grant scheme by completing a short survey at surveys.est.org.uk/s/GreenHomesGrantSchemeLAD or by calling Warm works free of charge on 0808 196 8255.
