WAYS TO LOWER YOUR BILLS

Energy bills

If you are getting behind with payments, contact your provider ASAP to agree a suitable and affordable plan. Unfortunately, providers no longer offer social tariffs, but this may change in future.

Meanwhile, you can find grants from energy providers and charities at grants-search.turn2us.org.uk

Water bills

Thames Water has two social tariffs for water.

• Water Help – cuts water bills in half for households on very low incomes.
• Water Sure – caps bills for those on benefits with a water meter, who use a lot of water because they either have three or more children under the age of 19. Or have a household member with medical conditions.
