Scottish Power Energy People Trust

The Scottish Power Energy People Trust is an independent charity established to help end fuel poverty.

What is the funding for?
Fuel poverty exists when a household has to spend 10% or more of its income on energy. This typically results from the cost of fuel, the energy efficiency of the property and/or the household income available to them. Organisations can apply for funding to support projects or schemes that cover
• Crisis funding e.g. women and children needing emergency accommodation
• Benefits health checks or income maximisation, e.g. helping households that are not claiming all the benefits they are entitled to.
• Energy efficiency measures e.g. a scheme that aims to improve the energy efficiency of homes by draught proofing, insulation and energy efficiency advice.
• Research. e.g. a research project that aims to understand the links between fuel poverty and health.
Priority will be given to projects aimed at helping families with young children and young people.

How much money is available?
