THOUSANDS of vulnerable households will be supported by the continuation of the Scottish Government’s uprated £20 million Fuel Insecurity Fund.
The £20m originally set aside for another independence referendum next year has been redirected to help ensure poor households can stay warm this winter.
Announced as part of last week’s Scottish Budget 2023/24, the investment will enable third-sector partners to continue to provide support to households who are at risk of self-disconnection or self-rationing their energy use.
