Help East Sussex residents stay warm and well this winter

As we head into the colder months, staying warm at home will be a concern for many. High costs of living and high energy bills are a big concern, especially for those who already find it hard to heat their home, or who are on a low income.

The East Sussex Warm Home Check service (provided by Citizens Advice East Sussex) is available to all residents, including staff, their friends, relatives, and neighbours who may need help. This free, impartial service offers practical energy advice and can provide assistance with heating repairs and small home improvements for eligible households, helping residents stay warm all winter.
