Fuel Poverty Awareness Day
15th February is Fuel Poverty Awareness Day. It’s a day aiming to raise knowledge of, and engagement with, organisations working within our communities to support those who find themselves struggling with high fuel bills or a hard-to-heat home.
Most people would be unlikely to identify themselves as being in fuel poverty, they’re more likely to think:
- I can’t pay my gas bill / top up my meter
- I can’t afford to turn on the heating
- My home is always damp or cold
- I’m always ill
The causes for these can be complex, however can be due to:
- Low income
- High fuel costs
- Energy inefficient homes
