Topping the list of day-to-day expenses causing the most concern for Brits are energy bills (42%), emergency repairs in the home (35%) and groceries (33%)

More than half of Brits agree the cost-of-living crisis has helped to break down some of the stigma of financial difficulty, with more people now feeling confident to open up about money worries. A study of 2,000 people found that 43% are now more likely to reach out for support if they are struggling with money, than before prices began to rise in 2021.

“Half the respondents to our survey agree that the cost-of-living crisis has helped to break down some of the stigma around financial difficulty, so we’ve teamed up with Rugby League to encourage anyone worried about an energy bill to talk to their supplier to find out what support is available, like requesting a smart meter.

If people are struggling financially, it’s important they let their energy supplier know as they may be able to help. One way they can help is by installing a smart meter at no extra cost, so households can track their energy use more easily. “I couldn’t have done that without that sporting community around me. If you’re struggling, it can help to share your situation with the people around you too. If you’re worried about paying an energy bill you can speak to your supplier who could help by offering you a smart meter to get more control over your energy spend.”
