Affordable Warmth Assistance Grant
The council has processed a high volume of cases, as a result of which the grant funding has now been fully allocated. Therefore at the present time the council is unable to accept any more requests for grant assistance. We understand that this is disappointing but the grant funding is limited and it has been in very high demand this winter. If the council receives additional grant funding, the scheme will reopen. In the meantime you may wish to contact the Cosy Homes in Lancashire scheme www.chil.uk.com (Opens in new tab) as they may be able to assist.
We offer targeted assistance for eligible households to keep domestic boilers working safely and as efficiently as possible during the winter months.
From October 2023 through to the end of March 2024, we will be encouraging residents to apply for a free boiler service.
We will be working in partnership with Preston Care and Repair and all boiler services will be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Please note that this offer is available to Chorley residents who:
- own their own home
- are in receipt of means tested benefits or be on a total household income of less than £31,000 per year
Other eligibility criteria also apply.
For more information or if you would like to apply for help with boilers, draught, radiators, gas fires, ventilation or glazing, please contact the Home Improvement Agency team at wellbeing.team@chorley.gov.uk who will complete a short application form with you. Please note, we may ask for documents as proof that you meet certain eligibility criteria.
