The cost of living crisis is difficult for us all but for some vulnerable older people, they are faced with the harsh reality of having to choose between eating or heating their home. We don't think anyone should have to make that impossible choice and so we are helping as many older people in Leeds access the money they are entitled to. To help us do this, we need your help. Last year we helped older people claim £1.2m in benefits that would have otherwise have gone unclaimed. Sadly, this year the demand for our support far outweighs our resources.

The Government is giving all households £400 towards their energy costs and not everyone needs this support. Through the #HelpHeatAHome campaign, we are asking if you can make a donation to help us support more vulnerable older people across Leeds this Winter. Your donation will help us provide information to the most at risk older people, on how to cope with rising energy bills, access support and stay warm this Winter.

We are very grateful for any support you can offer, whether this is large scale and getting your whole company behind the #HelpHeatAHome campaign or by missing just one take out coffee and donating the money saved - it all makes a difference - thank you.

If you work for a company in Leeds that would like to get behind #HelpHeatAHome please drop us a line on [email protected] - we can send campaign materials to help get you started and shout about your support on our social media channels. Thank you.
