More people than ever will struggle this winter with heating their homes due to recent energy increases leading to decisions on whether to heat their homes or put food on the table. In this webinar we offer additional support for front line workers who support households from practical tips and advice on energy efficiency and food poverty to keeping mentally healthy throughout the winter months. Cost of heating a home in NI rose by 70% in October, MLAs told - and will be locked in for the rest of this winter https://www.belfastlive.co.uk/news/belfast-news/cost-heating-home-ni-ro…
