30 YEARS OF CARING TOGETHER

by

Thank you to everyone who came to our Pot Luck Lunch to celebrate Caring Together’s 30 years.

We all had a great time and we certainly were not short of food!!

There was a trip down memory lane over the years that Caring Together has been around, a chance to test your knowledge in our 1995 quiz and, of course a rousing rendition of happy birthday before everyone went home with cake

Energy prices rising on 1st April

by

It’s not too late to fix your tariff

The energy price cap is rising by 6.4% on 1st April so, if you are on a standard variable tariff, the amount you pay for the gas and electricity you use will go up.

If you haven’t already fixed your tariff then it is most likely that you are on a variable rate that will rise with the price cap rise. It will say on your bills what your tariff is.

It is not to late to fix your tariff and avoid these rises, a fixed tariff will fix the rate you pay for each unit of gas or electricity, and a fixed standing charge, for a certain length of time. So this means you will be protected from price rises during this time (note it won’t go down if the price cap decreases) The actual amount you will pay will depend on how much you use.

To see if you can get a better deal by fixing, you could speak to your energy supplier about what tariffs they offer. Or you could compare it with other suppliers by using a comparison tool such as Uswitch or Money Supermarket.

Or you can ask Caring Together if you would like someone to help you look at the options.
