A campaign which has helped heat more than 800 homes in Suffolk this winter says there is still help available as the county is hit by plummeting temperatures and heavy snow.
Surviving Winter, run by the Suffolk Community Foundation and supported by this newspaper, has raised a record breaking £275,000 since late last year, and helped many hundreds of people who struggle to pay heating bills.
But, as the temperatures drop, the organisers are keen to let people know that help is still available.
Tim Holder, from Suffolk Community Foundation, said an incredible amount of money had been raised
A campaign to help keep Suffolk s most vulnerable warm during winter after an terribly tough year has raised a remarkable record £250,000.
The 2020 Surviving Winter appeal, run by the Suffolk Community Foundation, has become the most successful ever after already reaching its target by Christmas - and doubling the total raised in previous years.
The foundation believes the appeal - supported by this newspaper, BBC Radio Suffolk and other charities - has cemented Suffolk s reputation as the caring county and helped to save lives as a result, with 400 grants already handed out to those in need.
