The cost of living crisis is sadly showing no signs of abating and social housing tenants continue to be among those hardest hit. Rising costs are forcing residents to make impossible choices between essentials like fuel and food.

This session will tell the story behind a national Fuel Poverty Index, which puts into context the experience of those living in dangerously cold social homes. You will explore the trends and underlying factors contributing to the problem.

Crucially, the panel will highlight innovations and interventions that can make a difference. How should housing providers invest in food or fuel poverty support in a way that creates most impact? What partnerships can help us go further?

The sector needs to be proactive and collaborative in its approach to tackling this issue and mustn’t wait until winter to start planning relief packages. Join this session for ideas on how to start preparing now.
