Slow Cooker Heat or Eat Initiative

Donation protected
This page has been set up to support @DrAdrianHeald raise the funds to buy anyone experiencing food and fuel poverty by asking for donations of either money of Slow Cookers.

It does not matter if you are a single person or a family experiencing food and fuel poverty you will not be excluded.

So what is fuel poverty?

Fuel poverty is said to occur when in order to heat the home to an adequate standard of warmth (18 degrees), a household needs to spend more than 10% of its income.

In 2011, a survey indicated that the number of households in the UK suffering from fuel poverty was 6.3 million – a staggering 24% of the population.

Factors that cause fuel poverty include: low income, high fuel prices (electricity and gas), poor energy efficient homes (poor insulation, old or inefficient heating systems etc) and the under-occupancy of homes.

New research has indicated that 10% of consumers have defaulted on their energy bills and a third of families now have to ration fuel.

This winter as food poverty hits record levels and leaves people unable to afford their utility bills, a growing number of people will have to make the grim choice of whether to heat or eat. 

This year as part of its give a useful Christmas gift we would like offer the gift that can transform lives.

This is a great opportunity to buy a Slow Cooker for either a family or a single person experiencing food and fuel poverty.

The cheapest slow cooker can be bought for as little as £20 which will support anyone in need.
 
So please help support this fundraiser by either donating cash or a Slow Cooker you can email me via this page if you wish to donate a new slow cooker.


Thank you for your support.
