13 Feb Centrica announce partnership with The Multibank charity

(Oilandgaspress) -] Centrica has announced a new £2.4m, three‑year partnership with The Multibank to help households in or facing poverty across the UK. For the first time at this scale, Centrica, while supporting The Multibank, will help them provide further essential household goods to those who need it, and via the British Gas Energy Trust, connect people with direct, targeted energy support to help people stay warm, safe and secure this winter and beyond.

Centrica will provide cash of £800,000 per year to strengthen The Multibank’s core operations, expand its reach through new satellite hubs, and increase the supply of essential goods such as warm bedding, clothing, baby items, hygiene products and furniture. Crucially, The Multibank and the British Gas Energy Trust collaborating means the creation of new, targeted referral pathways for people who need help – giving families identified by The Multibank’s partners access to energy debt relief, emergency fuel vouchers and white goods grants. British Gas, part of Centrica, has solely funded the British Gas Energy Trust, which is an independent charity, for over 20 years.

This targeted energy support will help more households keep the heating on, replace vital appliances when they break, and prevent crises from escalating.
