: Carer Money Matters from Care for the Carers.

1:1 advice to carers in East Sussex on:

Income maximisation:

This is about ensuring carers, and those they are looking after and/or other household members, are aware of financial benefits and grants they may be entitled to. Access support to complete applications for benefits and grants, or budgeting and signposting to debt advice.

Energy efficiency support:

Information and support to improve energy efficiency at home to reduce energy bills and respond to rising energy costs.

Safety and support in the home:

The project aims to raise awareness of the dangers of Carbon Monoxide poisoning and making homes safer, including installing CO monitors and Locking Cooker Valves (shutting off the gas supply to the cooker where there may be someone vulnerable in the household).

We can support you to register with the Priority Services Register (PSR). Households on the PSR access many benefits, including priority re-connection and alternative facilities for cooking and heating if the energy supply is cut-off.
