Crisis and Resilience Fund - Oil Support

Good afternoon,

We are seeking your support to help raise awareness of a new fund available to assist Lincolnshire residents with heating oil costs.

Lincolnshire Community Foundation has recently launched the Crisis & Resilience Fund – Oil Support, part of a UK Government initiative delivered locally by Lincolnshire County Council. The fund offers eligible households a one-off £300 voucher to help with heating oil costs, with over 5,000 households across Lincolnshire expected to benefit.

As many eligible residents may be digitally isolated or unaware of the funding, Parish and District Councils play a vital role in helping ensure this information reaches those most in need.

Key information

• £300 support available for heating oil costs
• Household income below £36,000
• Savings under £6,000
• Heating oil must be the main source of heating and hot water
• Households must be at risk of losing access to heating or hot water

How residents can apply
