MP urges elderly constituents to register with Age UK Essex
John Baron MP today lent his support to the Surviving Winter Campaign which aims to ensure that the elderly do not go cold this winter. Age UK Essex are offering packs which include a fleece, hot water bottle, a flask, essential food items and are able to offer an electric heater if heating breaks or oil runs out.
John said:
“I urge anyone who is elderly and struggling to keep warm this winter, or knows someone who may be affected, to contact Age UK on 01245 245455 to register. Too many people are choosing not to heat their homes adequately so they can afford other necessities, sometimes with terrible consequences.”
