British Gas extending scheme to help poor tenants and owners

British Gas is extending its ‘You Pay: We Pay’ initiative so that more customers can benefit from the £10m available in the scheme. 

British Gas matches payments made by those who can afford to pay something over a period of six months and there is no minimum level of debt balance to qualify. For example, a customer paying £100 a month will pay £600 over six months with British Gas paying an additional £600 credit on their account, which may also help towards clearing an outstanding balance owed built up over the winter months.

Originally launched in June 2024, British Gas has to date provided targeted support to thousands of households facing or at risk of fuel poverty. 

It is now extending the scheme to later this year and will be introducing the ability to take payment breaks so that customers who can’t afford to make regular payments can still benefit from this help. Customers can also still access hardship grants at the same time as this support.
