How we heat and light our homes has shifted significantly in recent years and will continue to do so, presenting both real challenges for people and opportunities to improve systems and structure. You will hear from 👇 David Hilferty who will share the most up to date insight from our CAB network, focusing on what issues are causing the most harm and the solutions that we need to see. Natasha Gilmour who will give you an insight into the demand we see on energy issues as our Head of Extra Help Unit (EHU) - an essential service that helps people in vulnerable circumstances with energy-related problems including bills, debts, energy meters and suppliers. Fraser Stewart from Regen who will give his reflections as someone who is working to ensure the clean power transition involves and benefits low-income, marginalised and working-class people and communities across the country.

"She didn’t have to talk about this, but she wanted to use her experience to show that anyone can have a run of bad luck. She also highlighted the vital help that’s available and why we need to end the awful stigma often placed on people seeking help." Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/ez63Yh3R
