One Parent Families Scotland (OPFS) has secured funding from Scottish Government’s Wellbeing Fund to provide support to single parents across Scotland during this challenging period.

Through this funding, third sector and statutory organisations can sponsor single parents to apply for £50 for help with their energy costs.

This is not a means tested application, though sponsors are required to ascertain there are issues of hardship.  Single parents with children up to 25 years old are eligible. Demand is anticipated to be high, and sponsors are advised to submit their applications as soon as possible.

The deadline for applications is 5pm next Wednesday 24^th June.
