<p>As households and communities face rising energy prices over the winter, charities
are seeing higher demand for their services while contending with the same price increases
themselves.</p><p>That is why the government announced the Energy Bill Relief Scheme,
supporting all charities, public sector organisations and businesses with their energy
costs this winter by offering an energy price guarantee for six months. This scheme
will benefit charities and community groups across the country, including those operating
in Newcastle.</p><p>My Department will keep engaging constructively with the civil
society sector up and down the country and across government to monitor the impact
of rising costs, and ensure DCMS is engaged on policy which impacts charities and
civil society.</p>
