Today we’re at #DeafEXPO, the UK’s first exhibition specifically centred around the Deaf community. We’re highlighting that Deaf people who use British Sign Language (BSL) as their first or preferred language can access our energy and benefits advice services via SignVideo.

@ash_robin @SignHealth Excellent news!

Today is our #FuelPovertyAwarenessDay. 6.5 million UK households will be in fuel poverty from January and our work has never been needed more. By working together we can make a difference.

An amazing shout-out from @CoolTownCrier about our energy advice available in Climate Resilience Centre Worthing today.

Today, @nea_ukcharity, @age_uk, @CitizensAdvice, @EAS_Scotland, @FairByDesign, @MartinSLewis, @MoneySavingExp and @scope call on the UK government to consult on a social tariff. Thank you to all who signed our letter. https://t.co/gIAk7FpX8e #SocialTariffSolution

Three weeks today, the Energy Bills Support Scheme will close. #Prepayment customers must redeem their vouchers by this deadline or they will expire. It's vital money when #EnergyBills have never been higher. Please share with friends and family who aren't online.

Thank you to @AmyClareMartin at @DailyMirror for reporting our @yougov poll that 1.8 million pensioners turned off their heating completely last winter. We've worked with @C4Dispatches to highlight the issue of pensioner poverty. Tune in tonight at 10pm. https://t.co/7J2tMmMdO1

Our Reactive Response programme with @CadentGasLtd @CadentFund supports customers who have had their gas supply disconnected on safety grounds. We work with the client to resolve the issue helping customers to remain warm and safe. Paul is one of the clients that we helped.

Our Reactive Response programme with @CadentGasLtd @CadentFund is an industry first. We believe that vulnerable customers would benefit if the wider utility sector rolled out similar programmes. See the recommendations from our report here: https://t.co/Nbw1xpVeFZ

Today, we release a report showcasing our partnership 'Reactive Response' project with @CadentGasLtd. Our chief executive @adam_scorer urges the wider utility sector to roll out similar programmes: https://t.co/Nbw1xpVeFZ

@CaroKanny If this is the pre-record I think it is, I am certain that your concerns are entirely unfounded!

[National Energy Action @NEA_UKCharity]

Speaking on @BBCBreakfast, our chief executive @adam_scorer says the scale of the challenge facing households trying to pay their #EnergyBills means it is the government’s responsibility to step in to prevent 8.4 million households from being fuel-poor come April.

'We need a whole root and branch review of prepayment'

Homes should be a place of warmth, and rest, and comfort.

Today, I’m reflecting on the grave, lasting hardship many currently face.

And the many dedicated, impactful partners we have in Wales desperate to help. Glad to work alongside you.

[Peter Smith @peterwsmith101]

Amazing support for #FuelPovertyAwarenessDay both by known and well loved long-term supporters of @NEA_UKCharity and those supporting us for the first time.

[EnergyActionScotland @EAS_Scotland]

We are supporting #FuelPovertyAwarenessDay across the UK. Proud to partner with @NEA_UKCharity to raise awareness of the plight of millions of households, tens of millions of people, young and old. It isn't right, it isn't fair. This 21st Century Scotland.

[Matthew Scott @CaroKanny]

#Carers are among the most vulnerable to soaring energy costs but are routinely excluded from financial help. Almost two million in fuel poverty come April 2023, they need deeper support and fast.
