A Note from your clerk – Surviving Winter Campaign

16th December 2024 | District County Council

Hello, I’ve just received this information from West Suffolk Council:

Surviving Winter Campaign

Suffolk Community Foundation Surviving Winter Campaign has been launched.  This funding is to help vulnerable older people stay warm and well when the cold weather hits. The campaign is now in its 14th year and funding can provide a lifeline for many people by helping them to stay safe and healthy in their own homes as the weather turns colder.

Individuals can apply for support through this fund if they meet the following criteria:

  • Aged 66 plus
  • Not on pension credit
  • Maximum income £20k individual and £24k couple
  • Maximum savings £5,000
  • Live in Suffolk

Individuals wanting to apply should contact the charitable provider administering the payments: For West Suffolk this is Gatehouse Caring:  or telephone: 01284 703835 or for further details please visit the Suffolk Community Foundation website: Surviving Winter Appeal – Suffolk Community Foundation.
