Can you donate all or some of your Winter Fuel Allowance today, to help provide extra support for less well-off older neighbours this winter?
Of the 19,000 residents aged over 65 in Hammersmith & Fulham, over half have a long-term health problem or disability. 25% live in poverty. 43% live alone.
For many of the others, life is much more comfortable and enjoyable with support from friends and family. Everyone aged 65 or over who receives a state pension automatically also receives a ‘Winter Fuel Allowance’ to contribute to the additional costs of heating during the winter.
We are inviting those who can afford to do so, to donate all or some of theirs to Warmer Together, to enable us to work together to provide extra support for less well-off older neighbours.
Last year, you helped us reach 278 older neighbours in need, including 69 year-old David* who is blind:
“I live alone, and often don’t meet anyone for days on end, so to be able to socialise and have such a lovely meal financed brings joy to my life.”
This year, we want to do even more. Click here to get involved.
