Partner Information

Warm Front is the Government's largest scheme designed to combat fuel poverty in the private owner occupied and rented sector in England. It is a key component of the Government's UK Fuel Poverty Strategy which was published in November 2001.

A household in fuel poverty is one where more than 10% of income is needed to heat the home to an adequate standard of warmth. Fuel poverty can come about as the result of a combination of poor energy efficiency in homes, energy prices and low incomes.

The Strategy set out the framework for the delivery of the Government's overall goal of seeking an end to fuel poverty. The first target in England is to eradicate fuel poverty in vulnerable households (the elderly, families with young children, the long term sick and disabled) by 2010. More information on the UK Fuel Poverty Strategy visit the BERR website.
