Caring for someone with a long term health issue means having to spend a lot more money to heat a home sufficiently.

Some carers struggle to afford fuel bills due to depleted incomes or/and other significant costs associated with caring for someone with an illness       ( e.g. expensive equipment. home adaptions, special diets, travel, medical appointments.)

The person they care for is usually at home more and therefore more energy is needed to keep their home warm for longer than average.
