EDF are one of many charitable trusts run by Charis Grants.
British Gas, Npower and EDF charitable trusts are all part of Charis.

BEN (Automotive industry) charity also help with insolvency fee grants.

The Retail Trust have (in the past) given out grants also but haven't used them recently so can't confirm 100%.

Have made the thread a sticky so it doesn't disappear also.


FWIW, I've never known Payplan to give out grants for BR fees. In my experience they've told people to go to CAB etc for help with BR and grants...

Left this one off for now and hopefully a poster can confirm if they still do.

UNISON's welfare charity helped me with the court fee. Took a few weeks and a lot of checking of my financial circumstances which is normal. You need to be a member of Unison. Your local branch office may have a welfare officer to support your application or you can apply direct to remain anonymous.

Christians Against Poverty said they were able to help me, but not until March as they were really busy. And no, you dont have to be a Christian. :rotfl:
