We help disabled people, older people and homeowners with grants and loans to adapt or improve their homes.  We also offer information and advice to help you take care of your home.

Gas Safety

If a gas appliance isn't working properly it can be a risk to you, your family and your home. A gas leak, carbon monoxide poisoning or a fire could lead to serious injury or death. If you are a home owner and are worried that your gas appliance isn't safe we may be able to help with a Gas Safety Grant.

The Gas Safe Charity has given us a limited amount of funding to help older and disabled people with the cost of carrying out gas safety checks and servicing and repairing gas appliances that aren't working properly.
