Vital to help those trapped in fuel poverty
Two in every five families are struggling on incomes that do not cover a minimum standard of living. The gap between the money families have and the costs they need to cover is getting wider.
Families are finding it tough to bridge this gap and are going hungry, racking up debt or risking their heath by living in cold homes. At Turn2us we found 78% of families struggled with their energy bills last year and said cold homes were harming the health of their children.
