ALT Photo of a young girl, possibly a student, who is wrapped in a blanket and wearing a woolly hat with a big pompom. She is sitting at a table, reading a book. A notebook is beside the book. She is clutching her hands together, since they are cold. Two yellow squares are imposed on the photo with the following text: ‘Half of NI households say they have reduced their use of central heating in their home.’ 'Polling by LucidTalk commissioned by NEA NI, 1,050 adults in Northern Ireland between 12-15 September 2025'. The LucidTalk and National Energy Action Northern Ireland logos are at the bottom right.
