Does Your Organisation Support People Living in a Cold/Damp Home?
Warm Home Healthy Futures provides FREE energy advice and support ‘on prescription’ to people living with a health condition or disability that’s made worse by living in a cold home.

Who delivers the Programme?
National Energy Action (NEA) is a national charity working across England, Wales and Northern Ireland to ensure that everyone can afford to live in a warm, safe and healthy home.
