We cheered on our #TeamNEA runners who took on the #LondonLandmarksHalfMarathon, held two of our #FuelPovertyForums and spoke to MPs about the role of advice and support in installation, and the need to pair renewables with insulation for good outcomes.

Thank you to everybody who attended, participated and spoke at the event.

We were delighted to hear from Age UK Leicestershire and Leicester and the Centre for Energy Equality about the innovative projects that they are running.

We also shared research on children in fuel poverty, new emerging policy priorities and our Training and Education programmes.

Yesterday we held our East Midlands #FuelPovertyForum in #Leicester. Our Forums give us an opportunity to meet with members and other organisations working to tackle fuel poverty across the region.
