Give the gift of warmth
Imagine not knowing if you’ll be able to heat your home or cook a hot Christmas dinner for your family.
The festive period should be a happy time for celebrating with family and friends – enjoying gift giving, quality time and comforting food from the safety of a warm home. But for millions of households struggling to keep their house warm, the festive period is a time of stress, anxiety and discomfort.
It’s wearing your coat inside, hoping your gas and electricity doesn’t get cut off. It’s choosing between Christmas presents for your children or an extra hour of heating when the outside temperature drops below zero. It’s trying to figure out how to cook a Christmas dinner using just one hob. It’s sitting in the dark while your windows frost up, struggling to dry your clothes inside. It’s your children asking why your Christmas tree doesn’t have fairy lights.
‘I felt really miserable and freezing cold. Last Christmas I had to choose heating and food over presents for my grandchild. I had to have food bank parcels.’
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
