Ms W. contacted BHBH for help with her broken boiler which she couldn’t afford to replace. Ms. W suffers from various health conditions including cancer so it was important she stayed warm at home. BHBH helped her apply for a council grant and she was awarded almost £4,000 for a fully funded replacement. “I am writing to thank you so much for organising my new boiler which has now been fitted. I can’t thank you enough. I am so grateful to you.”
