Cadent Foundation

The Cadent Foundation’s £2 million Winter Support Fund supports people affected by fuel poverty

Every year, the Cadent Foundation funds a dozen carefully selected charitable partners, each offering a particular specialism or outreach capability, so that fuel poverty can be tackled in a holistic way.

Debt support, income maximisation and energy advice are delivered to households as well as energy and supermarket vouchers and energy saving measures and appliances such as radiator reflector foils and air fryers. The Foundation’s partners, which include Citizens Advice, Trussel Trust food banks and Groundwork, use the Charis Shop to distribute the product support.

Delivering vital support with the Cadent Foundation

“Working with Charis to administer the Cadent Foundation £2million winter support fund has been invaluable.

“Through their efficient and accessible online platform, our charity partners have been able to provide energy and food vouchers, as well as essential household appliances, to thousands of vulnerable households.

“Last year alone, over 38,000 people benefited from this support, and we’re looking forward to helping even more individuals and families this winter as we begin our second year of partnership.

“Charis’s commitment and expertise have made a real difference, ensuring that help reaches those who need it most during the most challenging season.”
