Burnham-On-Sea residents have this week been asked to consider spreading some warmth this winter by donating their Winter Fuel Payments.
Somerset Community Foundation has launched this year’s Surviving Winter campaign, which encourages people to join the growing number of contributors who donate some or all of their Winter Fuel Payment to help local people living in fuel poverty.
“Last year, over 500 older people living in fuel poverty in Somerset were helped to keep warm and better connected through the winter months, thanks to pensioners and other local donors who gave to Surviving Winter,” said a spokesman.
“This year, any online donations to the campaign made during the week-long Big Give Christmas Challenge – midday Tuesday 27 November to midday Tuesday 4 December – will be doubled.”
“Help Somerset Community Foundation to help more isolated and vulnerable older people this year.”
Please remember that all donations will help the Surviving Winter campaign, but if you donate online between midday Tuesday 27th November and midday Tuesday 4th December your donation will be doubled.
