Donate your Winter Fuel Payment

Wealthier pensioners who do not need their Winter Fuel Payment are being asked to donate it to a good cause. The payment is paid to everyone over 60 regardless of income and other assets - so it is paid to very well off pensioners as well as those who are less well off. 


If you would like to donate your payment to Age Concern Kensington and Chelsea, please click here:
