As health experts warn that older and disabled peoples’ lives are at risk with Britain set to freeze until Wednesday, the government needs to wake up to the fact that cold homes kill. Ministers need to fast track a social tariff in time for next winter. https://lnkd.in/eGbiffNM
End Fuel Poverty Coalition
Non-profit Organizations
Campaigning for energy efficient homes, decent incomes and low cost energy for low income households.
About us
The End Fuel Poverty Coalition is a broad coalition of anti-poverty, environmental, health and housing campaigners, charities, local authorities, trade unions and consumer organisations. We believe that everybody has the right to a warm, dry home that they can afford to heat and power. However, there are millions of households living in fuel poverty. Simply, this means that millions of people are pushed into poverty because of the costs of meeting their basic need to keep warm (or cool in summer). Millions of people cannot afford to heat and power their homes. Millions are suffering ill-health, stress and anxiety from unaffordable fuel bills, reduced educational attainment and social isolation as a result. This is avoidable. The End Fuel Poverty Coalition campaigns to influence government and other bodies to take action to end fuel poverty and thereby improve people’s health and quality of life as well as seeking to reduce the cost of living, create jobs and negate carbon emissions in the process.

As energy bills rise again, the vast majority of the public are concerned with the UK's energy security and the over-reliance on fossil fuels. In 2025 the Government must bring in a social tariff for bills, commit the money needed to upgrade homes and roll out long term reforms to make renewable energy cheaper. https://lnkd.in/e7nD-SsU
