Energy Trusts are registered charities that award
grants to reduce or clear electricity and/or gas debts to domestic
customers of EDF Energy or British Gas.
Energy Trusts have been set up primarily to offer financial
assistance to individuals and families who are struggling to pay
their electricity and gas bills. The Trusts aim to make a long-term
difference to a person’s situation by reducing or paying off
arrears enabling them to focus on their ongoing commitments.
The Energy Advice Project is extremely successful, over 90% of all
applications have an award made and applications for help with
energy arrears have a success rate of over 99%.
If you think any part of your heating system
isn’t working correctly, or you are not sure how to use it, then
