In March, the UK Government announced that it would provide targeted support for households reliant on heating oil who are facing financial hardship because of the increase in heating oil prices and, as a result, are at risk of losing immediate access to heating or hot water. The funding is being provided to areas with high levels of households reliant on oil as a top-up to the previously announced CRF ( https://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/council-councillors/crisis-resilience-fund-crf ) and on behalf of Lincolnshire County Council, will be administered locally by the Lincolnshire Community Foundation. As a result, eligible households will receive a £300 prepaid off grid energy voucher. If the household has no means of receiving an electronic voucher, alternative methods will be explored on a case-by-case basis. To qualify, households must: Have a below average income (under £36,000 combined household income) Have savings of less than £6,000 after the cost of oil Not be on a mains gas supply and use heating oil as the primary fuel for heating and/or hot water Be at risk of losing immediate access to heating or hot water due to a lack of heating oil Be able to pay the difference between the voucher value (£300.00) and the full cost of the heating oil, including delivery Applications are now being accepted via https://lincolnshirecf.co.uk/crf/ and are limited to one per household. Applications will be processed as soon as possible, with an aim to determine eligibility for complete applications within 2 working days, subject to demand and the complexity of supporting evidence. Further information can be found at https://lincolnshirecf.co.uk/crf/ . The Lincolnshire Community Foundation can also be contacted via crf@lincolnshirecf.co.uk or on 01529 572575. Please note that the Lincolnshire Community Foundation will be closed across the Easter Bank Holiday weekend, from Thursday 2nd April at 5pm and will reopen on Tuesday 7th April at 9am.
