The General Manager at Footprint Trust says, "The government is not to blame for the international crises, but it does have time to act now, to prevent thousands of Islanders falling into fuel poverty"
Footprint Trust highlight the 14 per cent of Isle of Wight homes that rely on domestic oil, bottled gas, coal or wood to heat their homes, none of which are covered by the Ofgem price cap
Footprint Trust say it's due to a number of factors, including rising inflation, massive increases in the cost of domestic fuel, loss of jobs and cutting of benefits
Funding is available to schools, churches and local voluntary and charity groups to coordinate a range of measures that support families facing hardship
The Green Grants support those most in need by helping to raise the energy efficiency of their homes, cut energy bills and reduce their carbon emissions
