Funding double glazing

Hi,
We're married pensioners, both in our late sixties. We live in a lovely home. Recently, we've undertaken some renovations....but we are thinking that we really need to replace our old aluminium double glazing. Our windows must be about 40 years old. What is the best way for an elderly couple with a limited budget to go about this?
Phil

    Hi, there is some recent info from this very site in the following link -

    https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/family/housing-and-energy-grants/

    Scroll down to 'Home Upgrade Grant ...'

    There's also info here - https://www.doubleglazingfunding.co.uk/government-green-homes-grant-for-2021/

    You could also google something like - 'double glazing grants for a low income uk' - lots of links popped up when I did that.

    Good luck with it all.

    Be aware the link given above doesn't take you to a government grants page but to a private company called "Help2buy windows" which basically wants your info to pass onto double glazing firms.....
