Residents in Oxfordshire can benefit from the advice and support of Better Housing Better Health, a service that helps those worrying about their home energy to create warmer, healthier and happier homes.
Last year, through the service’s free helpline and free home visit service (BHBH+), trained advisors helped over 2500 residents with the aim to help even more this year.
The service can help:
Residents who are finding it hard to understand energy bills, pay for fuel or read meters
Access funding to replace old and broken heating systems
Access funding for insulation measures
Reduce damp, condensation and mould by better ways of managing a home
Understand and programme heating controls
Making onward referrals to additional support services, such as Benefits advice and debt support
Some residents may be eligible for additional heating support depending on their situation.
To speak to the friendly team, call 0800 107 0044 or visit www.bhbh.org.uk and complete the online referral form or find our e-mail address.
Ms W. West Oxfordshire
Ms W. contacted BHBH for help with her broken boiler which she couldn’t afford to replace. Ms. W suffers from various health conditions including cancer so it was important she stayed warm at home. BHBH helped her apply for a council grant and she was awarded almost £4,000 for a fully funded replacement. “I am writing to thank you so much for organising my new boiler which has now been fitted. I can't thank you enough. I am so grateful to you.”
