Working for an Energy Company, I thought it would be great to give back and raise money for NEA who provide amazing support for low-income families struggling with the high costs of Energy.

I haven't done a half marathon for many years, so this could be interesting, but my main aim is to complete in less than two hours. Stupidly, I've also signed up for the New York Marathon in November! More on NEA below...

Our vision is to end fuel poverty. We work across England, Wales and Northern Ireland to ensure that everyone can afford to live in a warm, safe and healthy home.

As a result of the energy crisis, 6 million UK households are in fuel poverty. This means they spend at least 10% of their income on keeping their homes warm. Energy bills are twice as high as they were two years ago. Combined with poor housing and low incomes, this means that more people than ever before are struggling to afford the cost of heating and falling into debt.

Sky-high bills and cold, damp homes threaten to become the new normal for millions of people. We believe that this must not be allowed to happen. With your donations, we work to end fuel poverty and advocate for policy changes that will transform lives.
