Housing and homelessness

National Energy Action (NEA NI), supported by the Consumer Council (CCNI), are providing FREE Energy Efficiency webinars across Northern Ireland. We are concerned that higher energy prices, reduced incomes, and leaky, inefficient housing could put many households in Northern Ireland at increased risk of fuel poverty this coming winter. These increases come at a time when many household budgets are already stretched thin. However, we know that some simple changes to day-to-day activities could make big differences to household bills.
