About us

The Institute of Public Health in Ireland has developed the Fuel Poverty Hub as part of our programme of work on fuel poverty and health and our ethos of addressing health inequalities on an all island basis.  We hope to develop the hub as a resource which supports a wide range of stakeholders to tackle the unacceptable health inequalities associated with fuel poverty and living in cold and damp housing.
