Financial help with electricity

I applied for this grant last year after a neighbour mentioned it. So this year, I received an email asking if I wanted to apply again, of course I did! Just a few clicks and application made. Then just a few weeks later, another email to say payment made! What could be easier? Thankyou Charis! Most appreciated!
