Healthy Homes Dorset helps Dorset residents keep warm by installing loft and cavity wall insulation.
We also offer free, impartial energy advice.
Since April 2021 we have supported over 600 people with transformational grants. We have spent £230,000 on these grants and raised £221,000 in donations.
We may be able to help you if you, or a member of your family, have a long term illness or disability and need financial help towards the cost of equipment, home adaptations or other essential items to improve your independence, comfort, safety and quality of life at home.
You must be in financial need and unable to afford the equipment or building work yourself or to obtain the funding that you require from statutory services.
Our grants are often used together with funds raised from other charities and sometimes from statutory services to complete the purchase.
You have to be referred to us by a professional worker from health, social care or a charity that is in contact with you or your family member. When you have a referrer please ask them to go to the ‘how to apply’ page of this website.
