Fuel For Thought

Fuel For Thought, from fuel poverty to climate justice

Because we’ve had enough of being told that it’s our own fault for being poor, cold, and miserable, we have Fuel For Thought, a monthly get-together to share research and lived experience, tackle lies and clear up confusion.

Each month, we bring our members and supporters together with experts, activists, and campaigners in one online space to discuss and share stories on a subject related to our mission. It’s our approach to putting our network, its collective knowledge, and people power in your hands. And, it starts with promoting the thoughts, reflections, and demands of people in fuel poverty.


Next event

We’ll be holding our first ever LIVE Fuel For Thought in October, as part of The World Transformed 2025 in Manchester.

It’s a big picture session, Whose energy? Rising bills, corporate capture and the dash for data, with guest speakers Zoe Cohen (Assemble), Ellen Robottom (CACC) and investigative journalist Sam Bright (DeSmog).

From November, we’ll be back in our usual online slot, on the third Thursday every month, with a fresh programme of superb speakers, powerful ideas and thought-provoking discussions tailored to building a more just and equitable society.

If you have a story to tell, an idea for a future Fuel For Thought, some research, or a campaign you’d like to share – we’d love to hear from you.

You can also put someone forward to speak, or help promote our sessions, so we can grow our network and reach new people in need of reliable information to fight back against fuel poverty.

As a member of Fuel Poverty Action, you could even guest-host a session on a subject you’re passionate about.

Whatever fuels your thoughts, reach out to amalric@fuelpovertyaction.org.uk and get those ideas flowing. And if you’ve joined a session before, please let us know your impressions through our feedback form.
