EDF Energy Trust

The EDF Energy Trust helps families and individuals living in fuel poverty, suffering or other distress who are struggling to pay their gas and/or electricity bill by awarding grants to clear those debts. 

The EDF Energy Trust is administered on behalf of trustees by Charis Grants.

The aim of the Trust is to give vulnerable individuals and families a fresh start to enable them to keep free of debt going forward. Applicants are strongly advised to seek money advice before applying to the Trust.

The Trust helps by giving grants:

• To clear gas and electricity debts owed to EDF Energy.
• To clear gas and electricity debts owed to other suppliers. 
• For Bankruptcy /Debt Relief Order (DRO), Sequestration and Minimal Asset Process fees, purchase essential energy efficient white goods and cookers (these payments are known as FAPs (Further Assistance Payments)).
