If you or someone you know can’t afford to heat their home then we’re here to help. We offer a range of support both directly to people in fuel poverty, and via frontline workers and other intermediaries.

Winter Warmth SP

By donating today, we can distribute a Winter Warmth Support Pack to a home in need. Your support will be a lifeline to those struggling to heat their homes this winter.

Winter fuel payment

If you are of pension age, you will receive a Winter Fuel Payment every year from the UK government. If you do not need this support to stay comfortably warm at home, please consider donating it to help a more vulnerable household.

Who We Are

National Energy Action is the national charity working to end fuel poverty in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

We offer advice and support to fuel-poor households in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, as well as advocating for policy and regulation to protect the most vulnerable households. We also offer training to frontline staff of other organisations, to they can best support fuel-poor households.

We do not work alone. Partnerships and collaboration have been at the heart of National Energy Action for over 40 years, helping us drive better health and wellbeing outcomes for people struggling to heat their homes.

Our Story about Who We Are
What is
Fuel Poverty

We define fuel poverty as a household needing to use 10% of their income on keeping their home warm.

Since the beginning of the energy crisis in October 2021, the average energy bill has increased significantly. National Energy Action estimates that 6.3 million UK households are currently in fuel poverty, unable to afford to heat their homes to the temperature needed to keep warm and healthy. In October 2021, we estimated there were 4.5 million UK households in fuel poverty.
