Grant News

Individuals and families will be able to apply for grants of up to £2,000 to clear domestic gas and electricity debts.

The Individual and Families Fund, administered by the British Gas Energy Trust, will provide eligible customers with a grant to clear outstanding arrears with their energy supplier.

Any British Gas and non-British Gas customer in England, Wales and Scotland who has sought money or debt advice, and not received a grant from the Trust in the past 2 years, is eligible to apply for the support.

However, customers of Boost, Eon, Eon Next, EDF, Scottish Power, Ovo, Octopus, SSE and Utilita should apply to their own respective funds.

Applicants with energy arrears over £2,000 will not be eligible to apply.

The fund will be open to applications from the 4th December 2023 until 4pm on the 8th March 2024, but may close earlier if all funding has been allocated.
