Where to go for support

Finding support over Christmas can be difficult. Here is a list of places where support is available over the festive period.

Fife Council

Our Fife has lots of information on to get the support you need over Christmas and New Year. The Safe and Well booklet (pdf) contains useful telephone numbers and contact information for support services in Fife.

Fife Council Faults and Repairs: 03451 55 00 11

Fife Council Out of Hours Support: 03451 55 00 99

Scottish Welfare Fund: 0300 555 0265. You can apply for a Community Care Grant through Fife Council.

Energy Advice

If you need urgent energy advice you can contact Home Energy Scotland, who will be open on a number of days during the holidays. You can find their opening times online. If you need further assistance, can contact your energy supplier.

Emergencies

In a power cut, call 105 for help and advice from your local energy network operator.

If you smell gas or suspect a gas leak, call the National Gas Emergency Service immediately on 0800 111 999. 

Prepayment credit

If you have run out of credit on your prepayment meter and are unable to top it up you can contact your energy supplier for help. Let them know you have run out of credit and when you will be able to top up your credit.

Make your supplier aware of any vulnerable people in the house, this includes young children, older people and people with disabilities.  Your supplier may be able to help with discretionary credit. This is usually in the form of a loan that you pay back at an affordable weekly rate.

Support may be available from Fife Council’s Community Support Helpline. Fife Council tenants should contact their housing officer in the first instance. If you need support from the helpline, please call 0800 952 0330
