💡 Are you missing out on savings? 💡
As those post-holiday bills start rolling in, here’s something that’ll help lighten the load! 🎉 Around 10 million UK households could be snagging social tariffs on everyday essentials like broadband, but a shocking 95% aren’t taking advantage of them! 😮
Former BBC Breakfast presenter Louise Minchin shares the scoop: “Social tariffs are discounted rates for services like broadband, aimed at helping those on lower incomes or receiving specific benefits.” These deals aren’t just money-savers—they often come with no setup fees, consistent monthly prices, and zero early exit fees. It’s a chance to cut costs without cutting corners! 📉
Ofcom stats reveal that those eligible often miss out, with only a small slice making use of these perks. So what’s the big impact? Well, internet access is critical in this day and age—think about online banking, booking GP appointments, or finding job opportunities. 📲
If you’re on Universal Credit, Pension Credit, or similar benefits, check with your provider for options! Some big names like Sky, Vodafone, and Virgin Media offer discounted packages designed to keep you connected without breaking the bank. For instance, Virgin’s plan starts at just £12.50 per month! 💸
And it’s not just broadband—water and energy companies offer similar relief schemes that could save your household hundreds. Reach out directly to see what’s available for you. 💧🔌
Louise’s takeaway? Explore your options! “There’s help out there, so check your eligibility and speak to your provider. Every single pound counts.”
Don’t let potential savings slip through your fingers. Check with your provider or search online for ‘social tariff’ options and put that extra cash back in your pocket! 🏠💰
