New official data shows that a significant amount of people lost their lives last winter - and it seems as is a lack of governmental legislation and poor insulation could be to blame.
"We are very concerned at the level of disinterest shown by the government in the welfare of older people at a time when the temperature is dropping well below freezing,” Jan Shortt, General Secretary of the National Pensioners’ Convention, which is part of the Warm This Winter campaign, tells Euronews.
It’s been estimated that, last winter, around half a million Brits were forced to turn to so-called warm banks - places run by charities, churches and doctors surgeries - where people can shake off the cold, for a while at least at no cost.
When they first began to pop up, in September 2022, opposition Labour MPs criticised the sitting government, saying that the very need for warm banks is a terrible indictment for one of the world’s richest countries.
Yet every year thousands of people are dying as a result… our government is doing practically nothing to fix the problem,” Greenpeace UK’s climate campaigner, Georgia Whitaker, tells Euronews.
“Insulating homes at speed and scale right across the UK would drastically reduce these unavoidable deaths, as well as helping to tackle the cost of living and climate crises by lowering bills and slashing household emissions,” she says.
