We all need a little extra help at some point in our lives.
We offer a range of free Priority Services to all our customers.
If you've had a letter from your GP about shielding to protect yourself from COVID-19, or you're experiencing a change in your circumstances, please sign up for Priority Services, so we can support you as much as we can.
And don't forget, if you don't need these services, you might know someone who does. Family, friends, neighbours, spread the word, so we can help as many people as we can!
Watch our helpful video, at the bottom of this page, to find out more about our Priority Services.
We can help
Here's a few ways our Priority Services can help
If you have an illness or mobility issues
We'll be happy to read your meter for you, give you more time to answer the door or telephone, and we'll make sure we don't park outside your home, blocking access.

Protect your home and personal information
Protect yourself against scammers, and set a password. We'll use the password when we call or visit, so you know it's really us.
