Emergency Energy Payment Assistance Programme
Emergency Energy Payment Assistance Programme for Vulnerable & Older People. Dumfries and Galloway Council have allocated £200,000,00 to deliver our new Emergency Energy Payment Assistance Programme for Vulnerable and Older People throughout our Region.
This Programme offers help to older and vulnerable people within our Region who may be struggling to cover the costs of their Home Energy Payments at this challenging time. We are completing this Project in conjunction with all of our following Project Partners and we can offer up to three separate payments of up to £49 each time you need assistance.
Anyone who is in receipt of at least one form of benefit payment can access this support through our project partners who are all detailed below.
Please check through our below list of project partners before calling any of the organisations to make sure that you are calling the correct one for you (e.g. if you are a DGHP Tenant, you would contact the Lemon Aid Fuel Poverty Project, if you are a Loreburn Tenant, you would phone Loreburn etc and if you are a Private Rented Sector Tenant, you should call DAGCAS).
