Evening Standard Dispossessed Fund
(UK, 1004630) Browse events
YTD Raised: £768.46Surviving Winter is a UK-wide co-ordinated campaign to encourage people to make donations to help older and vulnerable people affected by fuel poverty this winter. The campaign was inspired by people who wanted to recycle their Winter Fuel Payment to support older and vulnerable people who are less fortunate than themselves. Community foundations all over the UK are co-ordinating the campaign. What they collect, thanks to the generosity of the British public, will be targeted directly to help those locally who struggle to stay safe through the winter. Why we need this appeal With rising fuel bills and the prospect of another cold winter, older and vulnerable people are at risk. 5.4 million households in the UK are currently living in fuel poverty, with almost half of these households aged over 60. Each year around 20,000 more people aged 65 or over die in winter months than in other months of the year. With colder winters and rising energy prices, households are reporting increasing difficulties paying their fuel bills. This leads to households making difficult choices about prioritising their expenditure with some foregoing other essentials such as food to pay for fuel and some cutting back or turning off the heating altogether. Cold weather exacerbates coronary and respiratory illnesses, illnesses associated with older people. For every winter-related death there will be dozens of people suffering illness and hardship. Choice between eating and heating, isolation and depression are all factors. Results and outcomes All of the money raised will be used to provide direct benefit to older and vulnerable people who are suffering because of fuel poverty. The money will support those most in need of help and make sure they can afford to stay warm, eat well and remain mobile, as well as help them in practical ways such as ensuring they can make doctor’s appointments, get to the shops, and maintain an active social life.
