Around two million households have been forced to turn off their fridge or freezer to cope with rising energy bills, according to new analysis that lays bare the impact of the cost-of-living crisis.
New research from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) found that one in six low-income families turned off their kitchen appliances to conserve energy costs, with almost half saying that they had switched them off at some point in the past six months.
