Good news for older people struggling to pay energy bills. As we told Energy Security and Net Zero Committee last week, an energy social tariff is the best way to support everyone on a low income, including pensioners. We urge Gov to take further action and introduce a social tariff. #winterfuelpayment

'We have the financial commitment; now comes the time to deliver for the most vulnerable households.' Our Chief Executive Adam Scorer responds to today's #SpendingReview news that £13.2 billion has been allocated for the Warm Homes Plan.

We are very pleased with the Government's commitment to fully fund the Warm Homes Plan. This is a good step towards making homes more energy efficient and reduce bills. Now, the Government needs to support all those in fuel poverty and introduce a social tariff.

Today, we handed in over 100,000 petition signatures to 10 Downing Street 📋 It’s a clear message to the government: the cost of cuts is catastrophic ✂️

Today we’re inviting MPs and their teams to join us for a powerful discussion on #FinancialInclusion 📸 Visit the Fair By Design ‘Give me some credit’ exhibition 🗣️ Hear from lived experience speakers sharing their stories ☕ Tea, coffee, cake and conversations provided

We’re in Parliament today with APPG on Fair Banking Phil Brickell MP & Fair4All Finance , hosting a drop-in on Financial Inclusion and Access to Affordable Credit.  We’re sharing stories from the Give Me Some Credit exhibition and calling on MPs to support action on financial inclusion.

Brilliant start to the parliamentary event from @FairbyDesign's Director Rebecca Deegan. She talked of the powerful stories as part of their 'Give Me Some Credit' photo exhibition and highlighting the importance of tackling the poverty premium, and access to affordable credit.

A huge thanks to the lived experience expert speakers who shared their stories yesterday at our event on affordable credit and financial inclusion. It’s vital that these voices help shape policy and the design of financial services.

❗ 86% of low-income households on Universal Credit are going without essentials. We’re in Parliament with Trussell and hundreds of people to talk to MPs and call for change. Our social security system should, at the very least, ensure everyone can afford the essentials.

Today the Government has announced it will expand the Warm Homes Discount (WHD) this winter. Here are our thoughts ⬇️

Ensuring access to affordable credit to those who need it is essential. Thanks to Rt Hon John Glen MP who joined us to hear stories from the Give Me Some Credit exhibition and support financial inclusion.

Good to see that energy bills can be cut quickly when there is a will. Look forward to the Government slashing energy bills for those on low incomes via a social tariff Fair By Design #energysocialtariff
