making a fresh start with energy debt
Welcome!
The EDF Energy Trust is a registered charity (number 1099446) funded by EDF Energy.
The Trust's aim is to help people take control of their finances by reducing the burden of their debts and helping them meet their future bills. We hope that the awarding of grants and the provision of money advice and energy efficiency advice will enable people to make a fresh start.
Although EDF Energy provides the finance, the EDF Energy Trust is completely independent of the company. The Trust is governed by a board of independent trustees and the day to day administration undertaken by Charis Grants Ltd, a company with extensive knowledge and understanding of debt issues.
The EDF Energy Trust offers two types of grants:
- grants to individuals to cover the payment of gas and electricity debts and other essential household debts or costs
- grants to voluntary organisations working in the field of money advice, debt counselling or energy efficiency advice.
