No matter how careful you are, there’s always a risk that your belongings could be broken, damaged or stolen. This is why we and the SFHA suggest all tenants and residents take out home contents insurance, either through the special Diamond Insurance scheme or by making your own arrangements. Please remember you are responsible for replacing your home contents and belongings. Contents insurance is designed to help protect your possessions and personal belongings. It’s a good idea to consider what a home contents insurance policy would cover in order to help you make an informed decision on whether you need one.For more information on how to protect your belongings through the Diamond Insurance Scheme give us a call on 01361 884000 or visit: www.berwickshirehousing.org.uk/news/are-you-prepared-for-the-unexpected/#SupportingYouBHABeFriend Eyemouth Duns Coldstream Chirnside Preston, Scottish Borders Reston, Scottish Borders Greenlaw Ayton Village Berwickshire Cockburnspath and Cove Gordon, Scottish Borders, United Kingdom Allanton Birgham, Scottish Borders, United Kingdom Paxton Scottish Borders , Berwickshire Scotland Longformacus Berwick on Tweed Coldingham Hume, Scottish Borders Eccles, Scottish Borders Auchencrow Gavinton, Berwickshire Whitsome Foulden, Berwickshire Westruther Leitholm Polwarth, Scottish Borders ...

Worried about your heating this winter? If you are in receipt of certain benefits you could get £140 off your electricity bill for winter 2021 to 2022 under the Warm Home Discount Scheme. The money is not paid to you - it’s a one-off discount on your electricity bill, between October and March. You may be able to get the discount on your gas bill instead if your supplier provides you with both gas and electricity. You'll find info about eligibility here - www.gov.uk/the-warm-home-discount-scheme - or contact your supplier to find out more.BHA Eildon Housing SBHA HomeChoice Waverley Housing Borders Housing Network - working together for a better Borders BHABeFriend Eyemouth Duns Coldstream Chirnside Preston, Scottish Borders Reston, Scottish Borders Greenlaw Ayton Village Berwickshire Cockburnspath and Cove Gordon, Scottish Borders, United Kingdom Allanton Birgham, Scottish Borders, United Kingdom Paxton Scottish Borders , Berwickshire Scotland Longformacus Berwick on Tweed Coldingham Hume, Scottish Borders Eccles, Scottish Borders Auchencrow Gavinton, Berwickshire Foulden, Berwickshire Westruther Leitholm Polwarth, Scottish Borders ...
