Kym Marsh 'offers insulation grant advice'
29 January 2010
Coronation
Street star Kym Marsh has urged people to phone a helpline to check
if they qualify for a home insulation grant, it has been
reported.
The actress claimed she suffered "misery and upset" struggling to
pay bills such as the heating bill as a single parent before
finding fame.
Speaking at the Glasgow launch of the Home Heat Helpline, the soap
star said: "I found it hard to heat my home and when you have small
children it's a worry."
She noted that she probably would have been eligible for help if
there had been a helpline when she was struggling to pay the bills
and that it could have saved her a lot of misery.
It is estimated 48,000 households around Glasgow are missing out on
possible energy savings.
Many homes are entitled to grants for insulation, which could save
them around £250 a year on heating bills.
