To Liverpool and the @nea-ukcharity.bsky.social annual #FuelPovertyConf. Storm wracked it may be, but it'll be enlightening, motivating and determined. Over 350 people and some phenomenal speakers. Always fabulous to be with hundreds of fuel poverty champions.

Thank you to Welsh Cabinet Secretary Jayne Bryant for supporting our #FuelPovertyAwarenessDay. With 98% of low income households in Wales living in #FuelPoverty, we need to work together to ensure everybody in Wales can live in a warm, safe and healthy home.

1st day lurking on Bluesky, & it seems the energy folk are well settled in. Don't get me wrong, starter packs, respect & sane conversation are great, but so relieved that tribal football chatter is here as well.
