British Gas support fund could give people with any energy supplier up to £750 to pay fuel bills

Households struggling to cope with energy debt this winter and worried about the upcoming predicted increase of more than 50 per cent to gas and electricity bills in April may be able to get up to £750 to help clear their feet.

The British Gas Energy Trust provides two funds which may be able to help those in debt write-off their energy bills - even if they are not a British Gas customer.

However, before you can apply to the Trust for financial support, it stipulates that you should have already contacted your energy supplier, Local Money Advice Agency, or an online debt and money advisor such as Citizens Advice Scotland, StepChange or Turn2Us for help and advice.
