Surviving Winter Appeal

Our Surviving Winter appeal was launched in November, to help older people and the vulnerable affected by the cold winter that lies ahead. Surviving Winter is a UK-wide co-ordinated campaign to encourage those who are willing and able to donate some or all of their Winter Fuel Payment to support those in need for whom the Winter Fuel Payment is not nearly enough.

We are delighted that the appeal is endorsed nationally by Sir Terry Wogan and that SAGA Magazine is the national media partner. The appeal is also sponsored by accountancy firm, Baker Tilly. Surviving Winter launches on Thursday 10th November 2011 and the national target is to raise more than £1 million to support older people and the vulnerable. We've decided not to set a specific target in Lancashire, but we are aiming to raise a significant sum to what we believe to be a hugely worthwhile cause.
