If you’re unsure, wait for an official letter or contact your energy supplier directly. Support designed to help people through winter should never leave them exposed to harm.

This isn’t just a housing issue. It’s an education and health crisis rolled into one.

A warm, dry home should be the foundation for learning, not another barrier to it.

It’s not hard to see why. Damp homes make children ill. Overcrowding means less space to study, disrupted sleep and poorer concentration. The result is more absence and worse outcomes, especially for children from low-income families.

[2/3]

The Government must urgently set out when the plan will be published and how support will be targeted first at those living in the coldest, most unhealthy homes.

Warm homes aren’t a luxury. They’re a basic right.

After five years of an energy bills crisis, and well over a year since the Government committed to delivering a comprehensive Warm Homes Plan, households can’t be left waiting in limbo like this.

Uncertainty also ripples through the supply chains that deliver insulation and energy-efficiency upgrades, slowing progress when it’s most needed.

[2/4]

No one should be forced to live in a cold, damp home.

Cold, damp homes damage health, deepen inequalities and pile pressure on the NHS, yet this crisis is being allowed to continue.

We urgently need action to tackle spiralling energy debt and bring down bills through investment in warm, energy-efficient homes.

But people with health conditions face elevated levels of mould (32%)

With energy bills still 69% higher than in winter 2020, cold homes are continuing to deepen health inequalities and put added pressure on the NHS.

Housing tenure also plays a role, with 1/5 private renters affected.

In cold and damp homes, the presence of mould is an almost ever present issue. More broadly among the general public, 1/4 of adults report mould in their homes frequently or occasionally.

The impact is far worse for people already facing health challenges. 22% of people with lung conditions live in cold, damp homes.


That rises to 25% for people with mental health conditions, and 24% for those with other long-term illnesses.

[2/5]

We need long-term action to fix cold, unsafe housing through a fully funded Warm Homes Plan and more action to bring down energy bills for good.

Mould remains widespread. Inequalities are deepening and the NHS is feeling the strain.

Watch our film, produced with the Local Storytelling Exchange, to see how households across the UK are finding ways to improve the efficiency and comfort of their own homes.

No one should be forced to choose between heating and eating, or live in a home that can make them unwell. And no household should be left behind while energy firms make billions.

It’s time to end fuel poverty for good, and uphold the basic rights every person deserves.

If we really want to fix Britain’s broken energy system, we need grid reform, fair pricing, proper investment in energy efficiency, and a social tariff so the transition works for people, not just big investors.

[4/4]

Households can’t be left picking up the bill through higher standing charges/poor-value infrastructure spending

Grid reform must be fair. Community energy projects delivering cheaper power & real local accountability can't be pushed to the back of the queue while wealthy lobbyists jump ahead
