2014 Fuel Poverty Update: 2.2 Million in Children in Fuel Poverty

January 30th, 2014

In early 2013, ACE Research and the Energy Bill Revolution published a fact-file on families and fuel poverty. This briefing serves to update last year’s headline figures for the number of households, people, families, and children in fuel poverty. It does so for the UK, as well as for the devolved nations where appropriate.

 

This report includes information which made national news on 30th January 2014 regarding the increase in children in fuel poverty, and polling information which found that families have cut spending on school uniforms and food to pay for heating bills.
