Again the energy price 'cap' has increased and if it wasn't bad enough already, things have got a lot worse, you might even say they are deadly! The show did get a tad political, and it was not a balanced opinion, but we are teetering on the edge of a crisis that will cost lives and there is only one way to point the finger of blame! Read the Disability Horizons post on this crisis - https://disabilityhorizons.com/2022/0... Links mentioned by Mik https://www.charityexcellence.co.uk/H... https://www.charityexcellence.co.uk/H...
