Rossendale Heating Oil Support
Rossendale Borough Council may be able to help if you use heating oil as your main heating fuel and are struggling to afford your next heating oil order.
This support is funded by the Department for Work and Pensions and is for households in Rossendale who are on a low income or experiencing financial hardship.
You do not need to wait until you have completely run out of oil before asking for help. You can apply if you have recently bought heating oil, or if you need help because you cannot afford your next order.
Who can apply
You may be able to apply if you:
- live in Rossendale
- use heating oil as your main heating fuel
- pay for your heating oil yourself
- are on a low income or facing financial hardship
- are struggling to afford heating oil or are at risk of running low because of the cost
Before you apply
You will need to complete an application form and provide information about your circumstances.
We will ask you for evidence to support your application. This includes:
- a recent heating oil invoice or receipt
- a recent bank statement
