Fintry’s Warm Home Fund
Fintry’s Warm Home Fund is for households that are classed as being fuel poor spending 10% or
more of their annual household income on energy bills. To be eligible households must provide
proof of income and energy expenditure. The fund is targeted at households which are within the
fuel poverty lines but are not eligible to receive any support from Governmental organisations and
schemes, including companies. Thus grants from Fintry’s Warm Home Fund will not be paid out to
households which are eligible for Governmental assistance packages such as the energy assistance
package. Fintry’s Warm Home Fund is an extension to the current Fintry Energy Efficiency Grant and
as such the same grant conditions and eligible measures apply.
