MANY older people will be wondering how they can afford to heat their homes this winter.

Through our partnership with British Gas, a new customer initiative has just been launched -- Price Promise -- which will cap the cost of energy for the next three years for those customers over 60 who are in receipt of pension credit.

The package also includes a free home insulation programme, help with claiming benefits and access to British Gas priority services.

To find out more about Price Promise, you can ring 0845 600 0294, Monday to Friday 8am-8pm, and Saturday, 8am-6pm.

Through this scheme at least some of the most vulnerable customers will have peace of mind.
