The countdown has started to Cold Homes Week with seven days to go and support is building fast.
We’re backing Cold Homes Week, which is led by the Energy Bill Revolution, an alliance of 200 major charities, businesses and unions. It’s the biggest public campaign ever aimed at stopping fuel poverty, making every UK home super energy efficient.
Energy efficiency in all areas, from insulation to boilers, lighting and water, is key to the campaign to reduce the number deaths caused by cold homes. As well as using less heating fuel, every £1 saved on lighting and water bills can be spent to keep warm during winter.
The campaign launches officially next Monday (February 2nd), planning to build on the success of last year’s Cold Homes Week, which drew massive support from celebrities, MPs and people across the country.
