Winter Poverty Appeal

Many Hertfordshire families, senior citizens and other vulnerable people are fearing a grim winter. An anticipated rise in redundancies due to the end of the government furlough scheme, cuts to Universal Credit and soaring fuel prices mean that more people will increasingly be unable to cover the basic costs of living such as food, heating and other essentials.

Our Winter Poverty Appeal aims to help reduce poverty-related misery, cover fuel and food costs and fund activities to reduce loneliness and isolation.
