Story

In the Wakefield District there are hundreds of people who are still living in fuel poverty and with fuel prices going up and Universal Credit going down, it is more important than ever that they get the help they need.

Each year the Community Foundation raises money for fuel poverty through the Give the Gift of Warmth Campaign which this year includes Challenge 25.

We need to raise as many multiples of £25 as possible (the average cost of a winter fuel grant) to help individuals and families that are in crisis pay their fuel bills.

Thank you
