Hilary Meeks, from Citizens Advice Enfield, and EVA’s Fred Adams-Montantin will explore the relationship between energy poverty and housing insecurity, and highlight resources to support local residents.
Bashir Yusuf, from Secca, will outline the organisation’s work supporting Enfield’s sizeable Somali community and other migrants through advocacy, advice and skills-based services to deal with a range of housing, welfare, immigration and cost of living issues.
