British Gas shaving up to £2,000 off households' energy bills

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

The British Gas Energy Trust, a charity funded solely by British Gas, has reopened its Energy Support Fund for applications.

The fund offers crucial financial aid to households struggling with energy debt as living costs rise and temperatures fall. Grants of up to £2,000 are available to British Gas customers with credit and prepayment meter accounts, helping to clear outstanding energy debts.

This initiative complements the existing Individuals and Families Fund, which aids both British Gas and non-British Gas customers in reducing energy debt.

A recent survey by British Gas revealed that 39% of adults struggle to manage their bills, yet nearly half (45%) have not sought help due to perceived ineligibility (34%), stigma (28%), and lack of information (26%).
