Support is on offer this winter

With the colder weather set to increase energy bills, West Northants Council are reminding people of the range of support available to them.

A number of schemes are in place to help with heating bills, household expenses, and general financial hardship - including Pension Credit, the Winter Fuel Payment, and the Warm Home Discount scheme.

To help people find the support they need, they have listed them together in one place on our website. Please have a look and see if there's anything you, friends, or family could benefit from in the months ahead.

We know this winter will be particularly tough for many residents, with rising costs putting additional pressure on household budgets. That's why we're urging everyone who is eligible to make sure they apply for the financial support they're entitled to. Whether it's help with heating bills or assistance to cover other essentials, these schemes are there to provide vital relief. Please take advantage of our drop-in sessions where our advisors can guide you through the application process and offer tailored advice.Councillor Mike Hallam, Cabinet member for Corporate Services and HR
