Energy. Are you getting the best deal?
Gas
and electricity prices have risen but there are still ways to cut
the cost of your energy bills.
Our Resident Engagement Team and Global
Action Plan will be running three drop-in sessions, including a
women only session, to help residents save money and avoid fuel
poverty by giving them advice on energy-saving and money
management.
Developments in the energy market have made it
easier for you to shop around and choose the best deal. Suppliers
are now required:
- To provide better information on bills
- To provide you with an annual statement (from
July 2010)
- To allow card, key or token meter customers
to switch even if they have debts of up to £200 (from January
2010)
If you have never switched supplier it is
always worth considering shopping around.
At the drop-in sessions you can find out how
to:
- save money by switching provider
- save money on your fuel bills
- open a bank account
- understand better day-to-day money management.
The sessions will take place on:
- Wednesday May 5, 3pm-7pm at Harkness
Community Centre, Christian Street E1 1RX
- Tuesday May 11, 3pm-7pm, at Ocean TRA Hall,
Shandy Street, E1 4SR
- Thursday May 13, 12pm-3pm at Account 3, 3
Birkbeck Street E2 6JY (women-only session)
