Seasonal Health Interventions Network - tackling fuel poverty across London. Based at @islingtonbc, backed by @edfenergy @mayorofLondon Text 078 0000 6143.
Today is #FuelPovertyAwarenessDay. In 2019, about 15% of people in Islington were in living in fuel poverty and with rising energy prices many may struggle to pay their bills this winter.

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.
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.
It’s #FuelPovertyAwarenessDay ❄️
Matt Copeland, Head of Policy and Public Affairs at @NEA_UKCharity has written a blog for @CIHhousing outlining the support available for tenants in what is expected to be a freezing cold winter.
