There are still many properties in the rental market that are cold, damp, and lacking insulation and heating. The likelihood of these meeting the Healthy Homes Standards (HHS) deadline of 1 July, is very unlikely.
Many of these properties are home to some of our most vulnerable people. Even with the Government’s Winter Energy Payment, (WEP) they will still feel the cold.
News from Sustainability Trust
“We’ve noticed a massive increase in donations since the COVID-19 lockdown in March 2020 and the quality is just brilliant. Most of the curtains are 2-3 years old,” says Community Manager Susie Robertson.
“We’ve spoken to people as they’ve dropped them off to us and many have said that they’re renovating their home instead of going on holiday,” said Robertson, “good for us and the planet”.
“Our customer service team at Sustainability Trust has heard similar things from people, comments like we’d usually go on a family trip but since we can’t we’re going to install a central heating system instead,” said Robertson.
