Donations from people's £600 energy payment could go a long way to helping the most vulnerable in society, the Community Foundation NI (CFNI) has said.
CFNI manages and awards grants through donations to charities and causes seeking to help those most in need and has launched its Energy Support Appeal.
Its CEO Róisín Wood said that if people were not in need of the £600, or a portion of it, they would gladly ensure it reached those who would benefit most.
