Appeal reaches landmark level

THE Somerset Community Foundation (SCF) 2022/23

Surviving Winter appeal has raised £150,000 so far, thanks to the generosity of local donors –which pushes total donations to over £1 million since Surviving Winter was first launched in 2010.

The annual appeal encourages pensioners to donate some or all of their Winter Fuel Payment, if they don’t need it themselves. These donations provide funding and support to older people across Somerset who are struggling to heat their homes –or living in fuel poverty.

More than 300 people in need have already been supported since November.

To donate some or all of a Winter Fuel Payment, or to make a donation of any size to the Surviving Winter appeal, visit somersetcf.org.uk/winter to donate online or call 01749 344949 to donate over the phone.
