What’s inside
Seven A4 pages you can print and stick on the fridge: a winter bills checklist with the Ofgem price cap for October to December 2026, the help you may be owed, cheap ways to stay warmer, a full power cut checklist and a fill-in emergency contacts sheet. Every figure is checked against official sources such as Ofgem, GOV.UK, the Food Standards Agency and the NHS, and the checklist is dated so you know when it was correct.
