Grant Organisations

 

The Vale of Glamorgan Council supports initiatives such as the 'Heat project'.  However, the situation is continually changing and we always recommend that householders 'shop around'. 

 

For the lastest advice on the most economic way to arrange for cavity wall and loft insulation contact the Local Energy Advice Centre.  Tel 0800 512 012.

 

Health Through Warmth

For householders with a long standing debilitating illness the Vale of Glamorgan Council can offer help via the Health Through Warmth scheme. The aim of the scheme being to provide an adequately heated and  well insulated home.  To achieve this our Health Through Warmth coordinator can “hand hold” clients through the grant application process, search for grants where availability might not be immediately apparent, for example from charitable organizations.  And finally if a crisis situation is identified, provide emergency heating equipment and help to find a more permanent solution.  The Health Through Warmth coordinator can be contacted on 01446 709847.

Why not apply for a grant through the 'Heat Project' scheme, which aims to help make homes warmer and reduce fuel bills?

 

The HEAT Project is designed to enable everyone to obtain a grant towards loft and cavity wall insulation.

 

All households in the Vale of Glamorgan can apply for this grant - please call 0800 0934050 to find out more.

 

All the works are carried out by approved contractors and you don't have to fill in any paperwork. The council has teamed up with Enact Energy Consultants and SWEB ENERGY to offer a grant of up to £275 to help householders insulate their lofts and cavity walls.

 

Households with members receiving certain benefits may qualify for free installation. Free quotations will be provided and grants will be paid directly to the contractors so all the householder has to pay is the balance once the work has been finished satisfactorily.

 

Grants are subject to limited funding, survey and terms and conditions. Information about the grant scheme is being sent directly to each household within the county borough, however if you miss it, you can call 0800 0934050 for more details or visit www.heatproject.co.uk.
