Does your home have a Radio Teleswitch electricity meter? From June, the signal that controls these meters is being switched off. Some homes could be left without heating or hot water. So, if you have been contacted about getting a new meter, don’t delay, contact them today!

Today I visited Crisis’ art exhibition Home: the key to hope at the Senedd. Looking at the art and reading about people’s lived experience was powerful and moving. Everyone should have the right to a home.
