Get your school to help us Spread the Warmth this winter!

Our Spread the Warmth campaign runs from November 2011 until March 2012 to prevent older people suffering this winter and to support those who have nowhere to turn.

For the first time in history, there are more people over 60 than under 16 in Wales. While many of us have mums, dads, grandparents and friends who are living their lives without limits, the facts remain that:

  • 119,000 older people in Wales live in poverty
  • Over 40% of pensioner households are in fuel poverty
  • 72% of people in Wales are concerned about suffering from loneliness when they get older.

We would love to involve your pupils by making them think about the challenges older people can face by inviting you to get involved in one of our FUNdraising activities. We have devised an assembly plan and some resources to help plan what your school can do to support our work this winter. We’ve put a few ideas together which you could do at any time – but our big fundraising day is on Friday 10th February.
