A redundancy, benefit change or delay or even an unexpected bill can be devastating for anyone who is struggling to make ends meet. Sometimes this means that they simply cannot afford to heat their homes. Sadly each year local people are forced to choose between heating or eating.
HCF would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who supported our 2020/21 winter appeal. Thanks to the generosity of schools, local residents and businesses HCF has provided much needed support to local residents experiencing fuel and food poverty.
Our 2021/22 winter appeal will launch again in the autumn of 2021. If you would like to help a local family or individual who is struggling this is a great way to do so. Donations of any size are welcome. As little as £5 can help feed a local child, provide a warm meal to a resident experiencing homelessness, help an elderly neighbour stay warm this winter or go towards buying a family in crisis an essential appliance such as a washing machine or child’s bed. If you receive the Winter Fuel Allowance and don’t need it to pay your own bills, our Winter Appeal is a great way to help someone else.
