As the British isles struggle with the winter weather, NEA – the UK fuel poverty charity – has announced the first projects to be funded under a £26.2 million Health and Innovation Programme which will bring affordable warmth to over 6,000 fuel-poor and vulnerable households in Scotland, England and Wales. This is the biggest GB wide programme designed and delivered by a national charity that puts fuel poverty alleviation at its heart. The programme is split into three distinct funds, two programmes are being delivered by NEA – a Technical Innovation Fund and a Warm and Healthy Homes Fund, the third is being delivered by NEA’s subsidiary Warm Zones, while in Scotland a Healthy Homes Fund is being delivered by Energy Action Scotland.
