The energy crisis has made one thing clear: our housing stock and energy systems are broken.

Without rapid, meaningful action, we’ll face continuous hardship. That’s why United for Warm Homes is calling for:

1. Urgent additional financial support to keep people warm. Even with the government’s price freeze, energy bills are still far too high for millions of us. As the price of food and other essentials continues to rise, too many people will be pushed into rationing their energy use this winter and living in cold homes. We need more targeted support to keep people warm and well.

2. A nationwide insulation programme. Upgrading homes with insulation is the cheapest and easiest way to permanently reduce our bills. But most people can't afford it. We need the Government to roll out an emergency programme of insulation and energy saving measures now, starting in neighbourhoods where fuel poverty is highest.

3. Permanent fixes to our failed energy system. Our energy system currently prioritises massive fossil fuel company profits over meeting people’s basic needs. Everyone deserves a warm home, and there’s no good reason we can’t all have one. By powering our homes with cheap and clean renewables and guaranteeing everyone the energy they need to live comfortably, we can ensure no one is left in the cold.

Join Croydon Climate Action and Croydon Community Energy in calling on our MPs to pressure the Government on the above demands.
