“Additional support is also being provided this winter to both Scottish Gas customers and customers of other energy suppliers through the independent Scottish Gas Energy Trust. Through the Trust, constituents can apply for grants of up to £1500.00 through the Individual and Families Fund or through the Energy Support Fund which is solely funded by Scottish Gas’ profits.  More information may be found at: https://britishgasenergytrust.org.uk “
