We will not stand by. We will stand together.

Our campaigning for warm homes, affordable energy bills – free from profiteering energy companies – has made waves, of course there is much more work to be done and we will not stop.

More than ever we are seeing community care stepping in – while profit is prioritized over people – people are stepping up.

This is an open invitation to join us, share your story, share your anger, share your sadness – we demand better and we will stand side by side as we do this.

‘This is Where We draw the Line.’
