Friday 2 December is National Energy Action’s Fuel Poverty Awareness Day.
Amid the energy crisis it is needed more than ever. The average annual bill has almost doubled since this time last year – from £1,271 to £2,500 and it’s set to rise to £3,000 a year on average from April as Government support is withdrawn and the price cap is increased.
There is support available in Suffolk:
Warm Homes Suffolk – grants to help insulate and make properties more energy efficient for eligible homeowners or private tenants.

Cost of Living support – on the SCC website, links to advice for households, businesses and charitable organisations as well as ways people can offer support.
