Launch Energy Support Appeal

The Community Foundation for Northern Ireland has launched its Energy Support Appeal. The appeal comes on the back of the release of the first round of payments from the Energy Support Scheme aimed at assisting households as fuel prices soar. The appeal will ask those who are fortunate enough to be able to pay their bill and find themselves in a position to donate, to consider gifting some, or all of, the Energy payment to help those who need it most.
