Torbay MP Adrian Sanders is supporting Fuel Poverty Awareness Day 2010 on Friday, February 12, which will highlight the effects of living in a cold home on people’s health.

In 2008-09, 656 families in Torbay were able to benefit from Warmfront grants to improve insulation and heating systems.

The campaign aims to draw attention to the health problems caused by living in a cold, damp home and urges vulnerable people to keep their heating on until winter ends and temperatures start to warm up.

If you are concerned about your fuel bill, contact your energy supplier or to call the Home Heat Helpline on 0800 33 66 99 and get to access help and advice on staying warm when it is cold without the fear of fuel debt and ill health.
