Charities are seeing increased demand for services, and both Civil Society and cultural organisations are facing higher energy prices.

That is why the government took action to support such organisations with their bills over the winter, as part of our Energy Bill Relief Scheme.

The department will continue to engage constructively across the cultural and charitable sectors to monitor the impact of rising energy costs.
