SURVIVING WINTER

This project is now in its third winter.

Forum 21 has been involved in identifying elderly people who can't afford to keep warm in winter and making them grants from the Somerset Community Foundation (SCF). This year we already have over 95 applicants. It's one of our most useful projects: this outreach work means we can visit people who are often isolated and out of contact with support services.

SCF funds this work by inviting donations from pensioners who do not need their winter fuel payment.
