'Frozen' Home Sculpture Highlights Fuel Poverty Crisis as Energy Bills Rise
The campaign highlights that 42% of surveyed older adults are anxious about winter heating costs, with 1.1 million UK households aged 60+ affected by fuel poverty, officials said.
- At Borough Yards in London, organisers revealed the ice sculpture three metres wide and one and a half metres tall, spotlighting millions unable to heat their homes.
- A survey of 1,500 adults aged 65 and over found 42% are anxious about winter heating costs, while Paul Farmer, CEO at Age UK, said 1.1 million older people experience fuel poverty.
- Sylvia Stoianova warned that `Fuel poverty forces many families into impossible choices between warmth and other essential needs- causing avoidable suffering and, at times, loss of life`, linking cold homes to harms in babies, children and older people.
- Skipton Building Society will share 1% pre-tax profit and 50,000 among charity partners, while promoting donations with Age UK and National Energy Action.
- Amid approaching winter, the campaign stresses support for older people as more than half expect financial strain this winter and 74% worry energy bills will rise in the coming years.
