To apply, you will need:

Purpose of this fund
Barrhill is entirely off mains gas grid and 77% of the houses in the area are in EPC bands E-G, so this fund aims to provide winter fuel grants to all eligible households in the Barrhill Community Council area in order to alleviate the cost pressures associated with higher-cost fuel types and harder to heat homes.
Additional criteria
None.
Who can apply?
The Winter Fuel grant is available to all eligible households in the Barrhill Community Council area, where the Barrhill property is the main permanent residence of the individual applying. One application can be made per eligible household.
What can’t be funded?
- Properties which are wholly commercial
- Second homes
- Holiday lets
How are decisions made?
The Winter Fuel grants are awarded based on meeting the eligibility criteria. Foundation Scotland processes these grants on behalf of the Barrhill Community Interest Company.
