Young NCB are conducting weekly polls to find out about issues
which are important to children and young people. Our second
poll was to do with a topic called 'Fuel Poverty'. Rachel is
doing some work on this at the moment and she is interested
in finding out about what you think:

poverty’.
What proportion of families in the UK do you think
cannot afford to heat their homes properly this
winter?
- 5%
