East Riding Household Support Fund for Oil Customers

Humber and Wolds Rural Action are administering the Household Support Fund for Oil Customers this winter, with it being aimed at low-income households within the East Riding area.

We are looking to target eligible households who use oil for heating, and we thought that circulating to Parish Councils could help get the information out to residents who could benefit from this scheme.

Below you can find a link to the website which includes full details, eligibility criteria and the application form.

The Household Support Fund aims to help vulnerable households in the East Riding with the rising cost of heating oil. Grants will be awarded to eligible residents and is aimed at low income households.

Please note that this fund is only available to East Riding residents.

On application if eligible, households will receive an oil delivery or the LPG alternative and free membership to the Bulk Oil Buying Scheme for the first year (normally £20 per year).

ERYC Holiday Activities and Food Grants

The ERYC Holiday Activities and Food Grants are currently open for both Christmas and Annual grants. This ensures that children who are in receipt of benefits related free school meals have access to high quality holiday provision as well as healthy and balanced meals.

ERYC are keen to find those organisations who would be willing and able to ensure that ERYC have accessible provision for all. Whether this be the local tennis club, the local school or an independent business passionate about getting young people involved ERYC want HAF grants to benefit local communities.

I have attached our press release.

We have also had a short video created alongside our portfolio holder which we feel outlines a little bit more of what HAF is all about. It is available on youtube via the following link – https://youtu.be/z43oiR6MlOs
