Cavity Wall Insulation - can I get it free?

I'm looking at getting cavity wall insulation as it's a bit nippy this winter! 
I know you can get this quite cheaply nowadays, e.g. Scottish Power. Does anyone know if I can get it free, for example by using a grant of some kind?
I am not on benefits so that would rule that one out!
Cheers!

If you are not in reciept of a means tested benefit you wont qualify for a government Warm Front grant. Your local council may give grants for energy efficient measures but these are usually,but not always, targetted at people of limited means who just fail to qualify for the govt grant. Some councils will give an interest free loan to top up the grant given by the energy providers under the SoP scheme, these will probably be open to all. Your best bet is to contact your local Energy Advice Centre, there will probably be a link on your local authorities web site, if not search for the Energy Savings Trust. The EAC will have details of all grants and offers going in your area.0

Very helpful replies. Thanks very much!
Although I can't get it completely free, I can now batter the cost down quite a bit using grants.0 -
If you want it free, go to some used shops and find some! 8)0
