Fuel poverty is blighting 7 million households in the UK. Amongst them, are HHUGS families: single mothers, children without fathers, and elderly parents of sons in detention. These families have been isolated from their communities when they are most vulnerable and desperate. Most have minimal income, and have often had their assets confiscated. Burdened by debts and harassed by bailiffs, they struggle to survive on the bare minimum throughout the year. Now with the onset of winter colds, they will be fighting hypothermia, exposure and sickness, on top of everything else.

This winter, I can’t rest easy turning up our thermostats in the knowledge that a home without a father or son is stone cold. Can you?

Together, we can ward off the chill and embrace the broken hearted in their broken homes this Winter.

Together, we can give Warm HHUGS to those who need it most.
