£100,000 raised to help Dorset elderly stay warm

A CAMPAIGN to keep elderly people warm in the winter months has broken all records by raising £100,000. Dorset Community Foundation’s annual Surviving Winter campaign was launched ten years ago in response to the number of deaths among older people caused by fuel poverty. An average of 730 die each year in Dorset due to cold-related illness. Foundation chief executive Grant Robson said the success of the campaign has been down to the generosity of the people of the county. She added: “Each year Dorset people step up to support this campaign but this year we have seen an extraordinary response and we are so thankful,” he said.
