About us
We are National Energy Action
We strive to help those who can’t afford the cost of heating their homes. More households than ever are in fuel poverty, and we work to provide support to those in need, as well as advocate for policy which will transform lives blighted by cold homes.
“I’m permanently watching what I’m doing and what I’m using, which we never had to do before.”
“We can live, but it’s just existing. The bills seem insurmountable.”
“Over the winter I live in one room just to try and keep warm.”
These are the words of the people we help. These are people paying more than 10% of their income on keeping their homes warm – some paying significantly more. There are 7.5 million UK households in fuel poverty. National Energy Action does not accept this is the new normal.
Our work
Our vision is to end fuel poverty. We work across England, Wales and Northern Ireland to ensure that everyone can afford to live in a warm home. We do this by:
Providing advice and support to people struggling to heat their homes affordably, either directly or via community engagement projects and outreach
Campaigning and advocacy to ensure that the needs of fuel poor households are at the heart of policy decisions
Undertaking research and sharing insights
Developing accredited training and qualifications to improve standards of energy advice
We can’t do this alone. Our work is delivered in partnership with policy makers, manufacturers, installers, energy suppliers and networks, local authorities, housing associations, universities, and many others with an interest in understanding and supporting those in fuel poverty.
