SWAG can provide financial help. To qualify, you must live in Sway. Small Fuel Emergency Grants
In the exceptional circumstances we are currently facing, the trustees have established an small fuel emergency grant option to help those individuals and families within Sway who are in
severe financial difficulty due to the current exceptional household heating fuel costs. Help in an another type of financial emergency
We provide help to individuals and families encountering a financial emergency with grants towards a variety of items. In the past we have helped pay for equipment to aid mobility, funded emergency alarms for the elderly, helped to settle serious arrears of rent or council tax, school trips, nursery places, replacement boilers, car repairs, food bills and a host of other items. Help with Winter Heating Costs
We provide regular help for eligible people with twice-yearly grants towards heating costs in December & March. The maximum total annual grant is currently £680, paid in two instalments of £340. If you need our help either in an emergency or with heating costs, please contact us and one of our trustees will visit you and your family to discuss your requirements in total confidence.
