Are you worried about energy bills rising? Falling behind on your energy bills can be extremely stressful.

If you are finding it difficult to make your next bill payments or to find money to top up your meter, you need to contact your energy supplier. Your supplier is required to help you come up with a solution and discuss a payment plan that works for you both. There is extra support available if you are vulnerable, if you have health needs, a disability, are pregnant or have young children. Your supplier will have details of grants and charities that might be able to support you as well.

Vicki Trim, senior health improvement manager, commented: “We recognise that money worries may be an issue for some patients and staff members, even more so at this time of year and twinned with the effect of the pandemic.”

Further advice and support on money worries is available from our Cost of Living webpage.
