Make managing your water bill that little bit easier
With rises in the cost of living, it can be a real struggle to look after your money and afford all your bills.
Is your household income below £16,480?
If yes, then Big Difference Scheme can offer a reduction of water bills up to 90%.
We'll assess your household income, and let you know how big a reduction you could get.
If your application is successful, you'll get a new payment plan, designed especially for you, which will include payments towards any debt on your account.
All you'll need to do is provide evidence of your household income which could include:
- Payslips from within the last 3 months
- Benefit award letters from the Department for Work and Pensions

Helping our communities
Sharon is a carer who looks after mature adults in the community who struggle with issues including isolation and loneliness.
She noticed that one gentleman, George, wasn’t coming out of his house and wasn’t eating. The appliances in his home were almost all broken, so he was unable to cook for himself.
As Sharon spoke to him to understand his situation, she learnt that he was in debt. She decided to try and help him to pay those debts and get the financial support he needed.
That’s when Sharon found the Severn Trent Trust Fund and the Big Difference Scheme.
The financial support George got from the Severn Trent Trust Fund and the Big Difference Scheme have transformed his life, according to Sharon.
“He lives a completely different life now. Now he goes out. He can go to town, he goes shopping, comes back with a little bag of food."
