Free workshop: Health impacts of fuel poverty and carbon monoxide
Free workshop for health and social care professionals in the East Midlands
The number of households in England who are in fuel poverty is around 6 million.
National Energy Action defines fuel poverty as when a household spends 10% of its income on keeping its home at a satisfactory heating level. There are three common factors: a household’s income, fuel costs, and energy consumption.
Recognising the signs of fuel poverty and referring households to the Green Doctor could save lives.
Our Fuel Poverty and Carbon Monoxide workshops are now over we can still help households around the East Midlands to tackle fuel poverty! All our support is FREE of charge.
