Richmond Council is offering free warm homes packs available for eligible residents to save on energy bills.

As the cost of energy continues to rise, Richmond Council has funded the distribution of warm home packs to offer residents who need it most the support to keep their homes warm and more energy efficient this winter.

On 2 November, they launched the distribution of warm home packs for eligible residents at an event at York House, which also included helpful energy-saving advice provided by South West London Energy Advice Partnership (SW Leap).

Eligibility

To be eligible to receive a free warm home pack this year, your household income must not exceed £30k, and your property has an EPC rating of D or below. 

If you have received a letter from us stating that you are eligible for a warm homes pack but were not able to pick one up at the launch event, from 7 November you will be able to collect a pack at the below locations.

Packs are available whilst stocks last.
