Living with cancer can bring extra costs at a time when household finances may already be under pressure. If you are worried about energy bills, keeping your home warm, buying food or replacing an essential household item, the Cadent Foundation Warm Fund may be able to help.
Through the Live Well Hubs at MFT, eligible people can access practical support to help them stay warm and well at home.
Support may include:
- help with energy costs
- food vouchers
- items to help keep you and your home warm
- essential household items
- larger appliances, such as a washing machine, cooker or fridge, where appropriate.
The official Cadent Warm Fund guidance confirms that support is provided through participating partners rather than directly from the Cadent Foundation. At MFT, the Live Well Hubs can help you explore what support may be available, including support delivered with Groundwork.
