Are you on a prepayment energy meter?

Prepayment Meter

 

If you're in need of help with energy bills, there are still energy support schemes available. 

This one is for residents who have a traditional prepayment energy meter. If this is you, make sure you don't miss out on up to £400 of energy bills support vouchers.

If you haven't claimed your vouchers yet, take your ID and vouchers to a Post Office or PayPoint soon to claim them by the 30 June deadline.

Find out more about the Energy Bills Support Scheme on the GOV.UK website.

For a range of other support with the cost of living, go to our Support Directory for information and advice. 


SeaMoor Lotto

seamoor lotto


The SeaMoor Lotto is a fun way to help good local causes that you care about. Since its launch, SeaMoor Lotto has raised thousands of pounds for small charities.

Tickets are £1 in the weekly draw, and you can choose exactly which good cause you would like your money to go to. More of your money goes to your chosen cause than with any other major lottery – you can see the exact breakdown, where every penny goes, on our website.

Not only will you be in with the chance of winning weekly cash prizes of up to £25,000, but if you enter before Saturday 24 June, you could also win a home theatre system. 

Unlike larger lotteries, most of your ticket purchase comes back into the community AND the odds of winning a prize are much better, at 50:1.

It really is a win-win: even if you don’t win a cash prize you can be happy knowing that you are making a real difference in your area!

Which good cause would you like to support? Visit our website and buy a ticket today - www.seamoorlotto.co.uk
