Social Tariffs

You may have heard the term ‘social tariff’ but if not, a social tariff is a special tariff that offers a service at a reduced rate to those who are entitled to it or need it most. Due to the ever-increasing cost of living, it’s now becoming harder for people who are on lower incomes or relying on benefits such as Universal Credit to pay their bills. Social tariffs are there to help make things that bit easier, offering the same services as other households, but at a reduced rate.

Social Tariffs have been available for broadband since 2020, now this can include phone packages with some providers. To see whether you might qualify and a list of service providers, please visit Ofcom, by clicking here.

Water utility companies are also offering Social Tariffs for their customers, for more information please contact your water provider.
