Let’s Talk Energy Fund now open

The Let’s Talk Energy Fund provides free energy-efficient appliances and advice to households who are struggling to pay their energy bills. 

It’s an Ofgem approved scheme, that we operate thanks to financial contributions from UK energy suppliers. 

Old cookers, fridges, freezers and washing machines are costly to run and expensive to replace. So, subject to available funding, the Let’s Talk Energy Fund makes up to two free appliances available to eligible households, helping to stretch their household budgets a little further. 

To be eligible, applicants must: 

• Be in receipt of means tested benefits or have a gross annual household income below £20,328 

• Not already have the type of appliance they’re applying for, or, have an existing appliance that’s more than 8 years old or broken 

If you are supporting any households that you think may qualify for the support, please let them know. 

People can apply themselves – a professional referral isn’t needed. If they need help to apply, they can ask a friend, family member, or a support organization.
