The house has been raided. The door, broken. The rooms, stone cold. Children are unwell. Heating bills are more than she can afford- a sparse fridge greets her every morning. She is already one of the forgotten ones- who would want to be associated with a family like hers? Isolated and with an arctic winter ahead, dread stirs up within her.
Between a smashed door she cannot afford to repair, lack of basic groceries, children with few clothes appropriate for the cold and an intense level of social isolation - Winter hits HHUGS families the hardest. Fuel costs are rising. Many will face higher bills as energy suppliers ‘make up’ for a dip in profits. Families who already struggle throughout the year now have the added pressure of inflated heating bills which they simply cannot afford, leaving many with the threat of their supply being cut off altogether due to mounting arrears.
You can help remove the anxiety around winter for families who cannot afford to protect themselves adequately against it. Our ‘Winter Care’ packages provide essential and practical ways you can alleviate the harsh effects of the weather this season.
