Share the Warmth Crowdfunder Campaign

More than 4,000 people in Uttlesford are already living in fuel poverty.

We have seen a rapid rise in the number of people coming to us for help and advice relating to utility bills over the last few years – dealing with more issues in the first 6 months of this financial year compared to the whole of 2023-4. 

With recent changes to eligibility for Winter Fuel Payment and rise in the Energy Price Cap, we are concerned that even more people will struggle to heat their homes this winter, so we have re-launched our Crowdfunder Campaign, “Share the Warmth Fund for 2024″.

Money donated to this fund will be ring-fenced and used to provide emergency support for local people who cannot afford to top up their meters, pay their utility bills or fill their oil tank, so they aren’t forced to make the impossible choice between heating and eating.

Our previous campaign raised over £5,200 and supported 109 people over 10 months. With an even more challenging situation this year we would love to to smash our previous total!

So please give what you can and share our campaign as widely as possible – every little helps, as they say!
