A very good summary of what's needed from @NEA_UKCharity.

A reminder on this #FuelPovertyAwarenessDay - that this problem is *preventable*! We choose to allow it to continue and can choose to end it.

[Matt Copeland @Matt_Copeland1]

These are not insurmountable problems. To overcome them:
✅Long term central funding with big cost caps
✅Remove levies from electricity bills
✅Ensure a fabric first approach
✅Centrally fund advice
✅Provide clarity on key policy items.

As the energy cap increases from 1 October we want to share with you as much useful information as possible.
Did you know that you can request a smart meter from your supplier ❓ It costs you nothing but can help you control your energy consumption and avoid overpaying!
