Charities and community groups are setting up schemes to ensure discount helps people struggling with soaring bills
People who can afford to are being urged to donate their £400 energy grant to help poorer households. Charities and community groups are setting up schemes for those who do not need the discount to divert it to those who are most desperate.
The discount will be paid in six monthly instalments from October – either as a deduction, refund, credit or voucher – to consumers in England, Scotland and Wales.
