Stop forcing local charities and community groups to pay unfair energy bills

Create a new energy tariff for small, local charities and community groups that is in line with domestic rates.

Why is this important?

I am involved with a local Scout Group. Having barely survived the pandemic, we are now being grossly overcharged for our electricity, constantly threatened with court action for late payment, and it is a constant struggle to keep our heads above water financially.

Groups like ours often run on shoestring budgets, donations from the public, and the goodwill of volunteers. They shouldn't have to spend their time fundraising just to pay an energy bill they can't afford, or face threats of court action from their supplier.

It's a simple, common-sense change. Let's demand that Ofgem and energy suppliers give charities and community groups a fair deal, so they can focus on what they do best: helping others and serving our communities.
