£70 needed for help with rising energy costs

The client came to us for support after being hit with a massive energy bill, unfortunately he had not locked in a price and was unaware of the upcoming energy price hike. He has been able to reduce his consumption massively since and prioritise his expenditure, however he is in desperate need of support to help pay his previous months bill before it gets out of hand. This support would allow him to keep ahead of his bills and prevent him from going into arrears. Please could you help pay this bill?
