Rising energy bills are leading to anxiety, sleepless nights and lower self-esteem, new research has found. The dramatic increase in gas and electricity costs will see millions struggle to pay bills with many suffering in silence.
To encourage people to seek help, and to stop the silence around energy debt, has seen British Gas team up with rapper and mental health campaigner Professor Green, currently starring in BBC One reality show Freeze the Fear with Wim Hof. The cost of living crisis is putting household finances under increasing pressure, with inflation set to go to 10 per cent and interest rates now at one per cent.
To raise awareness of support available, British Gas has created an emotive film. The poignant film, by award winning director, Geej Ower, sees a single dad silently struggling with the emotional impact of not being able to pay his bills, without confiding in those around him.
