The Park Homes Warm Home Discount (WHD) is a WHD Industry Initiative regulated by Ofgem. It provides an annual WHD payment to Park Homes households, many of whom are fuel-poor because of old age, low income and thermally inefficient properties.
If someone is a permanent resident living in a park home in England, Scotland or Wales they can apply for a £150 payment to help towards the cost of their energy bills.
Over the years Park Homes Warm Home Discount scheme has operated, many suppliers have contributed funding. This has meant thousands of households are now supported each year and the scheme has become an established lifeline for struggling individuals and families.
Ongoing cost of living challenges and the increasing prevalence of fuel poverty have led to businesses in other sectors expressing an interest in contributing to the scheme as part of their social responsibility commitments.
Rodney, a Park Homes Warm Home Discount customer, told us, “My wife has COPD and other medical conditions. She needs to be kept warm. We’re earmarking that money for the purpose it has been provided. It means we are not going to be here dressed up in our overcoats this winter.”
“I live in a park home and in winter I can go from one chest infection to another as I’m cutting back on gas.
“Now I can afford to use the heating more, I’m going to feel better and I’m not going to get so ill. My daughter said to me you have worked all your life, just take the help that is there.”
