How to get a
Surviving Winter grant
Around one in four older people are struggling to make ends meet, and many don’t ask for help. If you’re finding it hard to keep up with heating, food or bills this winter, you’re not alone, and support is available.
Surviving Winter grants are available for older people living in Somerset who are struggling to keep up with heating, food or bills this winter. To ask about how or someone you know can receive a grant, please contact one of our main Surviving Winter partners:
