Carers speak out!

Just managing

Like most retirees, we are just over the threshold and unable to claim winter fuel allowance. We live in a village where there is no gas so are reliant on electric air sourced heat pump. It doesn't throw out much heat when it's really cold. The allowance went towards logs for our woodburner which has been a godsend. My husband has Parkinsons and has limited mobility which means he's not able to move about to keep warm. We don't have any public transport either. I'm lucky I can still drive.
