Government urged to include charities in energy plan review

Charities have urged the government to consult the sector when it reviews its six-month scheme intended to support businesses, charities and public sector organisations with their energy costs this winter.

Prime Minister Liz Truss has unveiled plans to ensure typical households will pay £2,500 on their energy bills each year until 2024. She also pledged to “support all businesses, charities and public sector organisations with their energy costs this winter – offering an equivalent guarantee for six months”, but did not reveal any further details of the scheme.
