Ramsgate Salvation Army in conjunction with Thanet and District Reform Synagogue, other churches, and faith groups in the area is seeking funds to help those facing fuel poverty this winter.

We have routinely found individuals and families who have to choose between food and heating. We predict numbers will increase as fuel prices rise and the Univeral Credit uplift is removed.

The funding will be managed by The Salvation Army and targeted at those most in need and used solely to pay energy utility bills.

The Salvation Army is a Christian Church & registered Charity working in 130 countries worldwide and is one of the largest and most diverse providers of social welfare in the world. In the UK and Republic of Ireland this work includes more than 800 Salvation Army social service centres and community churches. We provide unconditional friendship, support and very practical help to people in crisis and need and work with children, homeless people, all adult victims of modern slavery and those dealing with drug and/or alcohol addiction.
