Are you struggling to pay your energy bills?

The research has been commissioned by British Gas, as part of its independent charitable trust British Gas Energy Trust, which has partnered with the Post Office and 20 local money and energy advice charities to offer 120 free drop-in events at 20 Post Offices across the UK.

These events give people the chance to get practical, face-to-face support on budget planning, managing energy debt, applying for debt write-off grants, and accessing simple energy-saving measures to help keep homes warmer and bills lower.

The research also found gas and electricity costs are the most challenging for 26% of people to talk about, followed by council tax (17%) and water (11%).
