Around 3.5 million elderly people are worried they will not be able to keep warm this coming winter, a charity has warned.
Age UK pointed to the 25,000 elderly people who die every year from the cold, which they amounts to 206 deaths a day or one death every seven minutes.
Known as "excess winter deaths" many of these could have been prevented if pensioners were in properly insulated homes, according to Age UK.
