Help us turn up the heat on fuel poverty
Help us turn up the heat on fuel poverty
Turn2us has launched an online campaign to highlight the level of fuel poverty across the UK and promote financial support available to people this winter.
We're calling on everyone to visit www.fuelpovertymap.org.uk and get involved. The page includes an online calculator which you can use to work out the percentage of your household income spent on energy bills. The results can then be plotted onto our live UK map and build up a national picture of the scale of UK fuel poverty.
Submitting your details onto the map is really easy and only takes a minute, but it can make a big difference to our campaign.
How you can help spread the word
We want to reach as many people affected by fuel poverty as possible and you can help us do this by spreading the word about our campaign in the following ways:
- Forwarding this email to friends, colleagues, clients
- Tweeting about it
- Sharing or liking the link on Facebook.
Turn2us and fuel poverty
Around 5.5 million households in the UK are currently living in fuel poverty, which is defined as spending 10% or more of total monthly household income on energy. Many have to resort to drastic measures - such as cutting back on food and other essential expenses - in order to pay energy bills.
Turn2us helps people in financial need gain access to welfare benefits, charitable grants and other financial help - online, by phone and face to face through our partner organisations. This includes information on the financial support that may be available to people affected by fuel poverty this winter.
You can also keep updated on latest financial support news, information and resources via our Facebook and Twitter profiles
Join us and together we can turn up the heat on fuel poverty.
