Summary
Independent Age are coordinating a campaign on water companies to support customers who are struggling with high water bills
Independent Age, a national charity that supports older people in poverty, are coordinating a campaign where community groups across the country hand in the testimonies of people struggling with water bills to their local water company. Water companies are intending to raise prices significantly over the next five years, and Independent Age have heard from many older people who are very concerned. They’ve heard from lots of disabled older people in particular who have high essential water use who were very concerned about potential price rises and who were not getting support from their water company.
Independent Age are coordinating this campaign to put pressure on water companies to do more to support all customers who are struggling with high bills. The hand-in will take place on 19 November at a time that suits you, and the location would be at the head office of your local water company. Independent Age will provide all the resources and can cover any travel costs. If your group would like to be involved, please contact chris.mcfarlane@independentage.org.
