With Scottish winter on its way, the bleakest months are ahead of us. For people and families in poverty, this doesn’t just mean shorter daylight hours. It also means colder and longer dark nights - where heating or eating is a real choice many in Edinburgh will have to face, especially with the rising food costs and crippling energy prices experienced during this recent crisis.
We believe that in 2022, no one in our city should have to choose between eating or heating - so Everyone’s Edinburgh and The Turn2us Edinburgh Trust have joined forces to launch a Keeping Edinburgh Warm Fund.
How you can help
We hope to encourage 1250 ‘EnerGenerous’ people & families to help us reach a target of £500k will enable us to make grants to over 600 Edinburgh families. .
We’re asking, “do you need your £400 energy grant”? Are you able to use it to support families and individuals struggling financially this winter?
If your answers are 'no' and 'yes', then we ask you to consider donating it to The Keeping Edinburgh Warm Fund. Donating your energy grant will improve lives in Edinburgh today, and we'll ensure every penny of it goes to people and families who really do need it this winter.
