Matthew Cole, head of Fuel Bank Foundation, pays tribute to Frank Field, who sadly passed away today.

Yesterday we held an immersive and interactive event for energy sector stakeholders to demonstrate the daily struggles and impossible choices households in fuel crisis have to make.

Thanks to all those who attended and to Xoserve for organising and hosting the event.

#DebtAwarenessWeek

At a time when households need all the help they can get, this is absolutely scandalous.

Research shows that 50% of adults who are struggling with debt also have mental health problems.

If you're worried about money, speak to someone.

Talking about it can help.

#DebtAwarenessWeek

If the credit on your meter has run out or you can't afford to pay your energy bill, borrowing money isn't the answer - it just creates more debt.

Speak to your energy supplier or debt advice service, who will always be able to help.

#DebtAwarenessWeek #EnergyBills

If the credit on your meter has run out or you can't afford to pay your energy bill, borrowing money isn't the answer - it just creates more debt.

Speak to your energy supplier or debt advice service, who will always be able to help.

#DebtAwarenessWeek #EnergyBills

If you’re struggling to afford your energy bills, speak to your supplier to discuss a suitable repayment plan.

Suppliers have an obligation to help you come to a solution that works for both of you.

Matthew Cole, Head of Fuel Bank Foundation, comments on today's #Budget2024 in Energy Live News

energylivenews.com/2024/03/06/spr…

Another disappointing Budget for vulnerable households struggling with energy bills. No real targeted support other than the 6 month extension of the Household Support Fund. ☹️

#Budget2024 #EnergyBills #FuelPoverty

We love receiving positive feedback from our network of trusted partners. 😊

Without them, we wouldn't be able to do what we do, so the thanks are right back at ya! 👏

A great trip to Edinburgh yesterday to visit the Citizens Advice Edinburgh team (Karen Airlie, Lynsay Nolan and Martha Moloney).

Thanks for your hospitality and sharing with us the challenges your clients are facing and the importance of the support provided by Fuel Bank Foundation.

We welcome the reduction of standing charges for prepayment customers, ending the inequality of the 'prepayment premium'.

This will help PPM users but more fuel crisis support is urgently needed from the Government.

It's time to act.

#PriceCap #FuelPoverty

A busy day as we pick through today's Ofgem price cap announcement to find out what it means for our clients.

The verdict: some positives but the future still looks very challenging for millions of vulnerable and low income households.
