Winter Fuel Grant Opens 25 January
The Winter Fuel Grant programme opens at 10am on Wednesday 25 January, applications will be made via an online form. The grant is a one-off, non-repayable grant of £200 to help UNISON’s most vulnerable low-income members and to help ease the worry of paying for their next fuel bill during the coldest months of the year.
Sefton UNISON & UNISON on a national level understands the financial hardship many members are facing – struggling to make ends meet, particularly with RPI inflation still running at 14% as of the end of November, and energy usage generally at its highest over January and February – a time of year when many families are struggling with paying bills from the Christmas period too.
The application only requests limited information, including, name, membership number and email address, to make it as easy as possible to apply. You can find further information on eligibility and the application process here on the UNISON website.
The grant programme will close once 2,000 applications have been received.
