We’re expanding Cymuned!

Following an annual review of Cymuned, our financial support offering for working households, we’re excited to announce that we’ll be expanding the offering to make it more accessible to our eligible customers.

What’s New?

The eligibility criteria for Cymuned hasn’t changed from households with at least one working adult:

• Whose combined total income is £50,000 per year or less,
• Whose household bills exceed their income,
• Who do not qualify for another Welsh Water social tariff or debt scheme.

However, we are expanding the ability for our trusted partners to apply on behalf of customers, opening it up to more organisations such as debt advice agencies, local authorities and housing associations, who can complete an income and expenditure assessment.

Tracey Jones, Promotions Advisor, said: “This is an exciting development for Cymuned. Since launch, we have supported over 213customers with Cymuned and with the expansion, we can now offer a more accessible application process for our customers.

“We’ve worked hard with our original partners, StepChange, Warm Wales and Citizen’s Advice, to support lots of customers so far, so opening this out to more organisation means we can hopefully reach more people who need it.”
