Paying for work

With so many grants, loans and funding schemes available, things can get a bit confusing or seem really daunting! However, there’s no need to worry – we have many years’ experience of helping our customers make sense of what financial help is out there and can also help you through the application process. You may of course also use your own personal savings to fund work.

Again, because of how funding is allocated across local authorities in England, the options available will depend on where you live. Options include:

• Warmer homes, healthier living
  This scheme helps fund heating repairs and replacement for people with long-term health needs.

  This service is available to older people and people with disabilities in Haringey. It helps customers maintain their independence by carrying out minor repairs and small adaptations.
