Warwickshire Local Welfare Scheme
What is the Warwickshire Local Welfare Scheme?
The Warwickshire Local Welfare Scheme helps our most vulnerable residents at times of unavoidable crisis when they have no other means of help.
Due to the limited amount of funding we have available, we will prioritise items necessary for day to day living such as food, energy, and water and particularly those who may not be eligible for other forms of government support.
Who is eligible?
Our eligibility criteria balances supporting as many residents as we can with targeting our limited funds to support those who need our help the most.
Applicants need to be:
- a legal resident in the UK
- aged 16 or over
- have no other access to funds or enough resources to pay for food or energy
- experiencing a situation which poses a serious health or safety risk to themselves or their family
- a resident of Warwickshire
- or a member of the armed forces who can demonstrate a strong connection to Warwickshire
