When temperatures plummet those in low-income households can get a £25 payment.
The cold weather payments are made in locations where residents experience continuous below-zero weather.
The payment is made automatically, including to those on Universal Credit, for each seven-day period of low temperatures from November 1 to March 31.
Fuel vouchers â up to £50
If you’re on a prepayment meter you might be able to get a one-off voucher to top up.
The fuel voucher scheme comes via the Fuel Bank Foundation charity, and it’s offered through a range of organisations, like food banks and Citizens Advice.
The best place to start to find somewhere which can offer you a fuel voucher is by asking your local council â you can find yours via gov.uk by searching your postcode.
The voucher should help you cover around two weeks’ worth of electricity use.
Some energy companies may also issue their own vouchers, so ask your supplier directly.
Switch your bank account â up to £175
You could get up to £175 in free cash just by switching to a new bank account.
Many banks and building societies offer bonuses if you switch your accounts to them.
First Direct is offering new customers £175 if they make the switch.
To get the £175, you have to open a First Direct 1st Account and switch to another account into it within three months.
You’ll also need to pay a minimum of £1,000 into the new account â and you can expect to get the £175 in free cash within 28 days.
Don’t waste time looking at individual banking sites to compare rates â it’ll take you an eternity.
Research websites like MoneyFacts.co.uk and price comparison websites such as Compare the Market, Go Compare and MoneySupermarket will help save you time and show you the best rates available.
These sites let you tailor your searches to an account type that suits you.
Open a new savings account â get up to 4.25% in interest
To help prevent blackouts National Grid has established the “demand flexibility service”; (DFS) which pays people to use less energy during peak times between November and March 2023.
Rent out your driveway or parking space â up to £400
Alternatively, if you’re lucky enough to have a driveway or parking space, you may want to consider renting it out.
Tarek Fergani told The Sun he made £400 in four months from renting out his parking spot in Southsea, near Portsmouth.
He used the YourParkingSpace website, which he described as easy to use.
You enter some standard details such as your name, email address and the bank account you want to be paid into.
You also need to upload a picture of the spot so the renter knows what they are getting.
But there are similar apps around, so it’s worth comparing them with others before you sign up.
To find out more about renting out your parking space see our article.
Sell your old furniture â up to £1,000 per item
You can give your bank account a boost by selling old furniture.
The Sun spoke to Brad West, owner of West Antiques, who revealed five items of furniture you might have in your home that could earn you hundreds.
Of course, if you’re thinking about selling an antique, it’s always worth sprucing it up to make sure it’s in the best condition and will sell for the highest possible price.
Below are a handful of furniture pieces you can make money from.
Mid-century sideboards â up to £1,000
Desks â up to £650
Lamps â up to £100
Chairs â up to £400
Coffee tables â from £250
If you’ve got items in your house that you think could shift for loads of cash but aren’t sure, Brad said it’s worth doing some research.
For more information on what sells well and how to do it read our article here.
Complete online surveys â up to £100
With sites such as Swagbucks, Toluna and i-Say, you can start earning cash with just a few clicks.
Surveys will be distributed to you depending on who you are, where you live, and what you’re into.
Typically, they will take between 10 and 15 minutes to complete.
If you qualify for surveys and check in regularly, you could make around £5 an hour.
By that reckoning, you could get close to earning £100 a month.
Payments are usually made via PayPal once you’ve reached a certain threshold, but check carefully, as this can vary from site to site.
As a general rule, steer clear of survey sites where you have to pay to be a member.
Side hustle your way to some easy cash â from £15 an hour
There are plenty of side hustles to help you earn some extra cash.
For example, 27-year-old Millie White has found a side hustle that makes her £1,000 a month and says it’s so fun that it doesn’t even feel like work.
The project marketing manager has always had a passion for finding the perfect birthday and Christmas gifts for friends and family.
So, she turned her present-buying skills into an extra income stream which helped her to buy her first home last year.
This is just one example of how to get an extra income stream whilst working your usual job.
Running errands for someone could pay £15 per hour through Task Rabbit, which links up people who need a job doing with others who can get them done.
Work for a few hours a week, or 10 hours over a month, and you’ll earn an extra £150.
If you have a particular skill, like DIY or baking, you might be able to make more, while anyone with transport â a bike or car â could make some extra pounds doing deliveries for companies like Amazon, Deliveroo or Uber Eats.
