The British Gas Energy Trust, which incorporates the Scottish Gas Energy Trust, was established in September 2004 and is a registered charity (number 1106218 ) funded by donations from British Gas. The Trust operates independently of British Gas and is governed by a board of independent trustees. Day to day administration is undertaken by Charis Grants, a company with extensive knowledge and experience in grants management.
The Trust's aim is for the relief and prevention of poverty, suffering and distress, particularly among those who are fuel poor and unable to meet or pay charges for their domestic energy supply.
Grants are available to help individuals and families in need to meet arrears of energy charges and other household bills and costs (see Grants to Individuals). The Trust also funds voluntary sector organisations to provide money, debt prevention and benefits advice, signpost clients for energy efficiency advice and assist eligible clients to apply for financial assistance from the Trust (see Organisational Grants).
