‘Into the Cold: Britain’s Long Fight for Warmth’ exhibition opens next Thursday 8 October in Newcastle.

A selection of my photographs from fuel poverty and energy justice actions will be featured in this exhibition, alongside objects, images, words and interactive activities exploring Britain’s long history of cold homes, and the people and organisations who have fought to keep communities warm.

The exhibition traces this history from the national hypothermia crisis of the 1960s through to the pioneering work of Neighbourhood Energy Action in the North East, and the continuing struggle against fuel poverty and for energy justice today.

Launch event:
Newcastle City Library
Thursday 8 October
5–7pm
Free entry

There’ll be a discussion with a brilliant panel, as well as warming drinks.

The exhibition is curated by Rebecca Wright, Kathy Davies and Nick Stromberg as part of Carbon Bodies: Warmth and Fuelling Health in Britain, 1918–2022, a Wellcome-funded research project at Northumbria University.

The exhibition runs 5 October 2026 – 24 February 2027.

Wind and solar energy are bountiful and nearly free, but most of us just don't feel the benefit on our bills.

Last weekend, Ashley attended the Make Green Fair conference in Manchester.

The Make Green Fair campaign is supported by a wide range of organisations and movements. It is determined to ensure that the huge benefits of renewable energy can be enjoyed by all of the UK’s population, a mission we firmly believe in.

A massive thank you to Ruth and the Fuel Poverty Action team for the invite and for leading this vital conversation.

If you care about a fair energy transition, go follow and see what these incredible organisations are working on:

Around 250 supporters joined the Housing Protest on Sept 9 to hear from 14 different housing campaigns and 6 MP’s speaking in support of rent freezes and investment in council housing as the only long term solution to the housing emergency. The scale of the housing crisis was revealed by the breadth of the differing campaigns. Many contributions echoed the need for building a grassroots housing coalition and to keep on organising.

What would our housing market look like if it was affordable and sustainable?

The housing stock in the UK is not suitable for the majority of people.

Extortionate rents, bailiffs always at the ready, and poor conditions.

All this at a time when we need a mass retrofit programme to bring our housing in line with energy standards and sustainability targets.

We need to protect those most vulnerable to housing injustice, whilst also improving the quality and affordability of the housing stock, bringing in a better system that works for people and planet.

No Dirty Drax Data Centres!

'Friends of the Earth's position on Drax is that it's old, dirty, inefficient and it has no place in a sustainable future.'

We cannot let data centres become an excuse for Drax to extend their dirty, polluting tree burning business.

🔗 link in bio for the full film and ways to take action against Drax's planned data centres!

Huge thanks to @stuart.spray for his work exposing the insanity of Drax's data centre plans 🔥

So, @scotgov has released its new #ProgrammeforGovernment?

It's a relief to see that ‘tackling the climate emergency’ is still one of the Scottish Government's top four priorities, but the detail on how that will be done is thin!

This is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to a proper response to the climate emergency.

Will the Scottish Government choose to tackle climate change and improve people’s lives? Here’s 8 ways they could 🙌

Amid wildfires, drought, crop failure, extreme heat, flash floods and more, thousands of lives are being devastated across the UK alone – and will continue to do so as climate change accelerates to destroy the delicate balance of nature and our lives.

We need to build broader public support for climate policies that actually help people. We still have the chance!

Our leaders must turn away from deep-pocketed lobbying from the world’s worst polluters. It is vital to resist disinformation and backlash against the very policies that would reduce climate-wrecking emissions and help protect people and lives on our shared planet 🌍

In a matter of days, the Scottish Government will unveil their 5-year plan: the Programme for Government.

Want to see what we’ve said to them? Read our full set of PfG asks – link in bio 🔗

Lower energy bills. Less traffic. Cleaner air. Better public services. Wealth staying in communities.

These are some benefits of fair, fast, funded climate policies 💪

Scotland needs an emergency insulation programme to
✅ bring down energy bills
✅ cut climate emissions from homes

People experiencing #fuelpoverty must be prioritised for funding
