The 50-year-old, who is a project lead for charity Pamis and lives in Stirlingshire, Scotland, now hopes to help families with disabled children across Scotland, through the fundraising platform.
The mother of a disabled teenager has launched a fundraiser to help families of children with life-shortening conditions with their energy bills , a year after Kate Winslet donated £17,000 to help with hers.
“I worked with GoFundMe to set up a fundraiser to support families this Christmas who are in a similar situation to me last year to hopefully raise money to help them with their bills, but whilst doing that, it can also give me a platform again to start talking a bit more widely about what the UK Government had promised last year in terms of a social tariff.”
“That was very difficult, but thankfully we were able to keep the heating on and maintain the house and I don’t have the financial worry like some parents who have to worry about their bills and the cost of living.” She added: “Reducing the debt or writing it off could also be done – but it has done nothing and families are being driven into crisis.”
“We’re also continuing to support the most vulnerable, with three million households expected to benefit from the £150 Warm Home Discount, £900 for those on means-tested benefits, and an extra £150 for disabled people.”
