Horrified by the Winter Fuel Payment cuts? Here's how you can help!
Published on 12 September 2024 05:00 PM
As you will have heard, the Winter Fuel Payment for millions of pensioners has been cut. The number of eligible recipients will drop from 11.4 million to just 1.5 million during the cold season. This is going to have a drastic impact on many local older people.
Winter is fast approaching, and older people will become increasingly reliant on our warm Activity Centre and daily hot meals. With even less money in their pockets, it is crucial that the older generation in Hammersmith and Fulham stay warm and healthy during these brutally cold months.
Here are 3 ways you can help:
Donate
to Age UK Hammersmith & Fulham and help those who are going to struggle through this harsh winter. Any amount, big or small, will make a huge impact.
Volunteer
with Age UK Hammersmith & Fulham and help older people fill out benefit application forms to ease the pressure on them for the coming winter months.
Sign the petition
to ask the Government to overturn their change to the Winter Fuel Payment and think again.
