Winter’s Hidden Fuel Poor: The Homeowners Falling Through the Cracks

by Mav Highsted

As winter draws near, fuel poverty dominates headlines, but the full story is often missed. Beyond the low-income households eligible for government help, there’s a growing group of homeowners who don’t fit the official definition yet still face crippling bills. They’re not “poor enough” to qualify for support, but high energy costs can quickly drain savings, delay vital home repairs, and force cutbacks on essentials like food and
healthcare.
The consequences are severe, cold, damp homes, rising health risks, mental strain, and a hidden burden on our communities. Yet these households are largely invisible in policy discussions.
Practical, accessible solutions do exist. Great value energy services, bundled utilities, cashback cards, and renewable-backed tariffs that lower bills without lowering comfort. In some cases, even help you earn money back through everyday spending.
