I wanted to let you know that Scottish Gas customers in Highlands and Islands could be eligible to support of up to £2,000 with their energy bills this winter, as the British Gas Energy Trust re-opens its Energy Support Fund as part of their commitment to supporting those struggling with their bills.
The Energy Support Fund is available exclusively for Scottish Gas customers who have energy debt between £50 – £2,000 on a pre-payment meter, or £250 – £2,000 on a credit account. Last year, this fund provided more than £4.2 million in grants to almost 6,000 vulnerable households across Britain.
They are also providing additional support to customers from any energy supplier through the British Gas Energy Trust’s Individuals and Families Fund (I&F), which provides those struggling with energy debt on a prepayment or credit accounts with up to £1,700.
Throughout this winter, energy customers across Britain can also visit their local British Gas Support Pop Ups, where British Gas Energy Trust funded advisors will be on-site to provide an in-depth overview of the support available, signpost people to local organisations for ongoing support, check for benefits entitlements and provide free energy-saving tips and advice.
Customers can apply for British Gas Energy Trust grants here.
