01 · The numbers

Winter runs on numbers nobody explains.

Most people never find out what they could save, or what they’re owed. These are real figures from the official sources in the guide, and each one has its own chapter: who it’s for, what to do, and what to say.

The green notes tell you where to find it in the guide.

05 · Who’s writing to you

Who’s telling you this

I’m Ray, from the videos. After every one, people write in asking for the numbers, the words to say, and who to ring. This guide is that answer, written down once so you don’t have to pause and squint at the screen.

I’m not selling miracles or secret tricks. I’ve taken what Ofgem, the NHS, GOV.UK and Citizens Advice actually say, written it in simple, everyday words, in the right order, and named the source under every fact.

What it isn’t

It’s general information, not professional advice. For gas, electrics or your health, always use a qualified professional. That’s Ray’s Rule.

07 · Questions

Before you buy.

Isn’t all this free online?

Most of the facts are, spread across a dozen websites. You’re paying for it all in one place, in simple words, in the right order, with the words to say and the numbers to ring, and every fact checked and dated.

Do I have to fill anything in?

No. It’s a guide, not a workbook. There’s one optional page for your emergency numbers to stick on the fridge. Everything else is read and do.

Do I need a computer?

No. It’s a PDF you can read on a phone or tablet, or print. The type is large and it prints fine in black and white.

Will it save me money?

It shows you where the money goes, what help exists and which jobs are worth doing, with typical figures and their sources. It doesn’t promise a saving, because that depends on your home and circumstances.

Is it up to date?

The facts were checked on 13 October 2026 for winter 2026 to 2027. Every section names its source so you can check again.

Is it for Scotland and Wales too?

It’s written mainly for England and Wales. Some help schemes are different in Scotland, and the guide says where.
