The Energy Debt Fund scheme provides grants to help vulnerable and low-income households with problem energy debt.
The scheme has been running for the last three years and has supported over 330 households with their energy bills.
Applicants will be invited to discuss their needs with our Money Smart Team and if successful, a grant is paid directly to energy suppliers. Only one Energy Debt Fund grant is available per household.
Limited funding is available, and it is allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. The Household Support Funding for this scheme will be available until the end of September 2024 only.
Applications to apply for the Energy Debt Fund are now open. Contact the Money Smart Team for an assessment via this online referral form: Money Smart Referral Form - Wakefield Council
If urgent, you can email the team at moneysmart@wakefield.gov.uk or telephone 01924 305892 for immediate support.
