Freebridge Winter Support Plan

We know that winter can bring higher living costs, and we're here to help ensure that health, safety, housing, and well-being remain a priority for everyone.

Our Winter Response Plan runs from 1st November to 28^th February - and we’d like to share some of our key offerings of support to you:

• Winter energy grants: Additional one-off grants will be available for customers residing in our least thermally efficient homes, helping to ease energy costs.
• Housing partnerships: We’ll be working closely with local authorities to prioritise housing for homeless individuals and those in urgent need.
• Warm hubs: Our Community Centre (The Discovery Centre) in North Lynn will host Warm Hubs every Thursday from 10 AM to 3 PM, creating a welcoming space for the wider community, alongside our adult social sessions.
• Outreach: We’re reaching out to residents aged over 75 who don’t live in sheltered schemes with telephone calls to ensure they know about the support available.
• Support fund: We’re providing financial assistance for energy and food vouchers, available to all customers, including those in sheltered accommodation.

If you, or somebody you know, would benefit from accessing our Support Fund, both our Income Team and Support Team will be very happy to help.
