Unite the union will be holding a meeting at the Long Gallery in Stormont today (3.30pm) as part of its campaign to fully restore the Winter Fuel payment.

This meeting will address the devastating impact of the changes to the Winter Fuel Payment and the growing fuel poverty crisis affecting pensioners across Northern Ireland. The meeting aims to provide a chance to work together on solutions and ensure thevoices of those most affected are heard.

The meeting will include:

• Updates on the Winter Fuel Payment changes, the equality impact assessment, and the Fuel Poverty Strategy.
• Testimonies from pensioners and community groups.
• Open discussions on how we can make winter heating support fairer and more effective.
