Research Launch: The Financial Impact of Household Appliances

ACO's Impact & Evaluation special interest group, have commissioned Pro Bono Economics to publish research investigating the financial and well-being impacts from the provision of household appliances. This research is enabled through ACO members contributions and funding by Fusion 21 Foundation.

The programme includes discussions from contributors to the research and expert panel followed by a drinks reception.

We hope this research launch event will offer impact and details on how those facing financial hardship respond to going without essential items.
