Prime Minister Liz Truss has outlined the support that the government will provide to help with the spiralling costs of energy.

This package includes:

  • Suspending green levies on energy bills
  • Capping household bills to Ā£2500 per year for the next two years
  • Providing the Ā£400 energy rebate
  • Equivalent support will be offered to those on heat networks
  • A fund will be established to support charities with their energy costs this winter, offering an equivalent guarantee for the next 6 months

The Almshouse Association will continue to study the details of this package and will look to ensure that all almshouse charities are able to access the support they need this winter.

Further support is likely to be announced later this month when the Chancellor is due to deliver a ā€˜fiscal statementā€™.
