    Situation

    Crisp mornings, wooly scarves, drifting snowflakes and cosy boots on the frosty grass - Winter can be a magical time, but only if you have a warm home to return to. Unfortunately increasing numbers are not only uncomfortable during this icy season but at risk of isolation, illness and even death. Those at greatest risk are the over 65s. It is this vulnerability that the Surviving Winter Appeal seeks to address by warming up homes across North and East Yorkshire.

    Solution

    To address this desperate need, Two Ridings Community Foundation is calling on all those who can make a donation, whether you are a recipient of Winter Fuel Payment or not, to support this cause. The money raised will then be distributed to charities and community groups working to alleviate fuel poverty and hardship in our area. This local expertise will help us reach those in greatest need, ensuring they can afford to be comfortable, healthy, mobile and well-fed.
