New research has revealed that four in every 10 households will struggle to pay their next energy bill. The research, from YouGov and commissioned by British Gas, comes after the wake of Ofgem’s 54 percent increase which began being implemented on April 1.
British Gas has been joined by rapper and mental health campaigner, Professor Green, to get people speaking on the energy debt, the Daily Record reports. As part of the initiative, British Gas launched the British Gas Energy Trust to support those struggling with their finances.
This is part of a new Charitable Trust founded by the gas supplier to try and help customers suffering under energy bill financial stress amid the cost of living crisis. British Gas can offer help and support even to those who are with different providers under the scheme.
