Over the past year, Fuel Bank has continued to see high demand for its services, as households have faced the combined pressures of energy costs, food inflation and wider cost-of-living challenges.
The report brings together real stories, data and insights that reflect the ongoing scale of need across the UK, and how targeted support from Fuel Bank and its partners has helped prevent crisis for many families. This support has enabled households to maintain access to essential heat, light and power.
It also highlights how Fuel Bank is evolving its services to help shape longer-term solutions that move people from crisis towards stability.
Stories behind the numbers
Alongside the data, the report shares lived experiences from people supported by Fuel Bank and its partner network. These stories underline the importance of accessible, timely support in preventing hardship from escalating further.
Looking ahead
With continued uncertainty in global energy markets and ongoing cost pressures for households, Fuel Bank warns that demand for support is likely to remain high heading into the next winter period and is calling for continued collaboration with policymakers to ensure support reaches those who need it most, when they need it most.
