People are being urged to donate the £400 they receive from the energy support scheme to those in need in the midst of the cost-of-living crisis.
The GIVE400.scot initiative encourages households to donate the money to charities or good causes of their choice, or to the Corra Foundation, a Scottish charity.
Between October and March, most UK households will receive a £400 discount on their energy bills, which will be paid in monthly installments under a UK Government scheme.
The Household Hardship Fund of the Corra Foundation makes small grants to charities and community groups across Scotland, delivering funding directly to low-income families and individuals in the form of cash or vouchers to cover food, fuel, household items, and clothing.

“Every extra pound donated, whether directly or through Corra, will make a massive difference to families across Scotland struggling every single day just to make ends meet,” said Carolyn Sawers, chief executive of Corra Foundation.
