2.3 million UK households currently owe a debt of over £1,200 to their supplier. Despite, a modest fall in the energy price cap at the beginning of this month - these householders will struggle to repay their debt without a #HelpToRepay scheme.

The #EnergyCrisis isn't over. The price cap has dropped at the beginning of this month but it's a fraction compared to the amount households owe because of sky high bills.

Every year, our Training and Assessment team is externally audited by
BSI UK. This week, we were pleased to pass the audit without any non-conformances. Find out more about our Training, Assessment and Education offer here: buff.ly/3TJTn70

The lower price cap offers little comfort to 6 million UK households, who will have to continue to put their health at risk or fall into debt.

Almost half of householders across the UK reported going to bed early to stay warm. Despite a fall in the typical bill, 6 million households are still in #FuelPoverty and energy debt has reached record levels.

No one should have to suffer in a cold, unsafe, and unhealthy home. With your support, we can change this 🌟
