No Child Left in the Cold

Date Posted: 04/01/2012 15:21:23

Save the Children's 'Cold Kids' campaign calls on energy providers and government to do more to support the families on the lowest incomes with children to afford adequate heating. Their new survey, launched today, found that almost half of parents are considering cutting back on food in order to pay energy bills this winter, and that almost a third of parents on the lowest incomes say they won't be able to afford their energy bills even if they do cut back on other essentials.

Find out more about the campaign on their website, where you can access the full report and also take action.
