Can you visualise a young relative, perhaps your own child or a niece or nephew? Now imagine that they are at home with their family, all huddled into one room trying to keep warm. Your young relative is struggling to concentrate on their homework in a corner of the room while the rest of the family chat and watch television. Picture their sad face as they once again realise they cannot invite their schools friends over because their home is too cold and damp. Your relative could live in one of the five million UK homes which are fuel poor, with the household needing to spend 10% or more of their income on heating the home. Children who live in fuel poor homes suffer from educational underachievement, social isolation and health related problems, such as asthma. But fuel poverty does not just affect children, it can touch everyone's life either personally or through a loved one.
 

NEA is the only national fuel poverty charity. We have helped thousands of low income and vulnerable households directly, and millions indirectly, to escape from fuel poverty, through our local project work and influence on central and local government policies. Our mission is clear in that we aim to bring an end to fuel poverty. 2011 is NEA's 30th Anniversary year and still over 5 million households in the UK will be living in fuel poverty - the highest number for some ten years. NEA may be small in comparison to other charities operating in the UK; but it has repeatedly proven that it ‘punches above its weight' and makes a real difference to vulnerable households. We have made a big impact on the lives of people living in fuel poverty over the past thirty years and with your support we can continue to do so into the future.  

We have recently launched a new text message scheme for donations so that members of the public can donate to NEA in a quick, simple and convenient way.

The service, Just Text Giving, is supported by Vodaphone and we are encouraging our supporters to use the safe and accessible text service to make a donation to us.

To make a donation, you just have to text WARM30 and the amount you would like to donate, £2/£5/£10, to 70070. For example, to donate £10, text WARM30 £10 to 70070.
