Severn Trent Water is committed to supporting care leavers through the Big Difference Scheme, which can reduce water bills for care leavers living independently up to the age of 25.
We have taken steps to help care leavers access this opportunity. We will automatically passport care leavers onto the Big Difference Scheme through the local authorities that we have partnered with, offering a reduced tariff for water charges. To qualify for the reduced tariff, we must receive notification from your local authority.
