New Thurrock fund created to help those in need this winter

26 September 2024
Thurrock Council is set to launch a new campaign to help make sure residents get the support they need to help them through this winter, including creating a £100,000 ‘pensioner winter support fund’ to help pensioners who are on benefits and will no longer receive the winter fuel allowance.
The council will also work with Thurrock Community and Voluntary Services and other community groups to make sure that support reaches those that need it.
