Winter Scarves

We’re making a United for Warm Homes scarf, to call for urgent government action so that everyone can have a warm home.  

We’ll be adding messages to our scarf from people across our community to show how we’ve been impacted by rising energy bills and cold homes

Send us your message and we’ll add it to our scarf.

You could write about why you are worried about rising energy bills, your experiences of being cold in your home, or your concerns about how your family, friends and neighbours are being impacted. Perhaps you have personal experience of the impact on someone particularly vulnerable. Write a message about it.

We’ll be showing the scarf to our MPs [Sir Desmond Swayne and Dr Julian Lewis] so they hear the messages from their constituents and feel the pressure to take action. Dr Lewis shows signs of being helpful. Then, at the end of the winter, we’ll take our scarf to Westminster, alongside lots of other communities across the country, to show the government we need urgent action now, so no-one has to live in a cold and damp home.

Cold and leaky homes are causing serious health issues and high energy bills, as the energy we use to heat our homes escapes through the walls and ceilings. We need the government to invest in a national insulation programme to bring down our energy bills and reduce the carbon emissions from our homes.

Add your message to our scarf to join our campaign and call for urgent action. If you are not able to come to one of our meetings, please send us your message from this website and we’ll add it to the scarf.
