E.ON offers dedicated help and free insulation for those most in need
Energy efficiency is one of the most effective and sustainable ways of tacking fuel poverty and is a long-term way of helping people who are struggling to heat their homes.
E.On has a new offer of free cavity wall and standard loft insulation, and a cheque for £100, is available to anyone in receipt of Child Tax Credit where their annual household income is less than £16,190 or to anyone claiming Pension Credit.
The offer is open to anyone who fits the criteria - whether they are an E.ON customer or not - and E.ON estimates that over 700,000 households could benefit.
To find out more about the free insulation offer, please visit eonenergy.com/insulation or call 0845 302 4253 (lines are open Monday to Friday 8am-8pm and Saturday 8am-6pm). More information regarding our CaringEnergy scheme can be found at eonenergy.com/caringenergy.

Bromley Council is working with Climate Energy to offer residents living in Chatterton Village and Southborough a FREE opportunity to take part in a new energy saving scheme called RE:NEW.
Funded by the Mayor of London, RE:NEW will help you cut your energy bills and could help you make year-on-year savings of over £200.*
With energy bills rising, it’s a good time to make sure your home is energy efficient. We are visiting homes to show residents exactly where their property is losing energy and the simple changes they can make to save money. To arrange your RE:NEW Energy Expert call freephone 0800 054 6812 or click here for more information.
*A semi-detached house that installs simple energy saving devices and loft insulation is expected to save £256 per year. Source: Energy Saving Trust.

London is the first city to bring together a set of common standards for GP practices that enable patients easily to compare performance. And as such the information also provides indicators to health needs in the capital. Read London Councils' press release
