Claire Brown is joined by Severn Wye’s Allison Cawley and Claire Latham to examine what fuel poverty truly means, why person-centred retrofit matters, and how tailored guidance can transform homes, health and long-term energy resilience. Together they explore what effective retrofit looks like on the ground, from trusted installer networks to person-centred engagement, and highlight why collaborative working between energy services, local authorities and housing providers is essential for delivering safe, warm, and efficient homes.
