Our second action to help people Living in Cheltenham is now well into the planning stage. We are in the process of teaming up with the Cheltenham's scheme which is part of Cheltenham Borough Council's . This will probably involve asking people to donate some or all of their £400 Energy Rebate to Cheltenham people who are still struggling to heat their house, water, food and themselves. This campaign was piloted at the end of last year and without even any promotion generous citizens gave over £5,000 which is now being routed to Food Banks and Energy Charities in Cheltenham.

Cheltenham households are currently receiving £24m of non-means tested energy rebates, so if we can persuade just 1% of that to be redirected to those who most need it that is a quarter of £1m.

A few of us are planning to promote this campaign by leafletting selected areas of Cheltenham. If you are able to help do this over January/February please let us know here or message this page/group.

If you don’t need the energy rebate, please donate it. Donate and you will provide needed support through food / energy to those who need it
