Sponsor me as I Walk Through History in Their Shoes towards warm hearts and homes this Winter!
Fellow HHUGS (Helping Households Under Great Stress) charity supporters and I will embrace the cold this Winter so that inshallah vulnerable families won’t have to.
As I wrap up warm, defy the wintry chills and discover untold history across five miles in the heart of London, help me to raise £500.
Why am I walking in their shoes?
Millions of UK homes face a burdensome winter energy bill hike, making the unforeseen financial insecurity that COVID-19 has brought, hit struggling families even harder this year. Burdened by ongoing debts and rising fuel bills, they are forced to make the agonising choice between whether to ‘heat or eat’.
Over 2.3 million Britons are affected by fuel poverty, despite the fact 50% are employed.
Children may be forced to skip meals, have inadequate nutrition or study and sleep in uncomfortably cold conditions, affecting their performance at school and their emotional wellbeing.
A quarter of families are forced to wear outdoor clothing, like hats, scarves and coats, inside to stay warm.
36% of the UK's elderly say they live mainly in one room to save money on heating.
Over 2.8 million households enter winter with energy debt, with an average increase in debt of 22% from last year.
Half a million families said that they are likely to take out a loan this winter to cover the costs of heating their home
