Individuals and families with domestic gas or energy debts ranging from £50 to £1,700 on credit or pre-payment meter accounts can apply for support through the Individual and Families grants programme. Administered by the British Gas Energy Trust, this programme provides grants to British Gas and non-British Gas customers with pre-payment or credit accounts to clear outstanding arrears with their energy supplier.

To be eligible, applicants must:

• Have energy debt up to £1,700 on a pre-payment meter or credit account in their main residence.
• Reside in England, Scotland, or Wales.
• Not have received a British Gas Energy Trust grant in the past two years.
• Be applying to clear outstanding debt on a current or active gas, electricity, or dual fuel account registered to their main residence.
• Be in or at risk of fuel poverty.
• Have received assistance from a money advice agency.

Customers of Eon, Eon Next, EDF, Scottish Power, Boost, SSE, and Octopus should apply to their respective suppliers' funds.

The fund will close once all funding has been awarded.
