2025: Towards a fairer future: A unified approach to ending fuel poverty in Britain
In 2025, the Trust deepened the 2024 conversations by convening two roundtables in London and Birmingham, bringing together 24 representatives from charities, energy suppliers and industry bodies to explore the role of charitable organisations, the role of energy suppliers and the role of policy toward a more equitable energy system.
This paper reflects those discussions, revisiting many of the themes and actionable opportunities captured by the 2024 report. It serves as an addendum to that report, re-emphasising the urgency of a collaborative approach with community organisations, energy suppliers and government bodies.
