The Centre for Sustainable Energy (CSE) is working with SGN (a British gas distribution company) to help create a network of community organisations who can provide much needed support for people struggling with the current cost of living crisis and energy price cap increases.

It will provide funding and support for local initiatives helping customers with carbon monoxide safety and alleviating fuel poverty.
