The British Gas 'here to HELP' programme is a partnership with five major charities to help make one million homes warmer, safer and more comfortable. British Gas is investing up to £150 million to date, to benefit homes and communities across Britain.

The programme offers free insulation, a benefits assessment and other free products and services from our charity partners, depending on individual circumstances.

Local authorities and housing associations can also benefit from British Gas funding for energy efficiency products and other 'here to HELP' services for their communities.

The initiative has been given the Healthy Communities Award at the Business in the Community Awards for Excellence. In addition, the scheme won the Cause Related Marketing Award at the Marketing Society Awards for Excellence 2005.
