Waking Watch Relief Fund Re-opens to Applications
16/09/2021
Residents in England's high-rise flats can access financial support to make their dwellings safer while they wait for remediation work on new fire alarm systems to complete.
First launched in January 2021, the Waking Watch Relief Fund has been supporting thousands of residents in England's high-rise buildings with unsafe cladding. It pays for the installation of fire alarm systems, removing or reducing the need for costly interim safety measures such as a 'waking watch', where a building is continually patrolled in case of a fire.
