he recent cold weather has brought with it an unwelcome increase in electricity and gas bills. Far too many people from the garden centre industry are having to make a tough decision 'heat or eat'. Quite simply do they keep the heating on or eat as they can't afford both. That's why the Rainy Day Trust has introduced an


Fuel Poverty T


emergency winter fuel payment of £50.00 so that you can turn the heating on and keep warm. We'll pay your utility provider direct to keep it as simple as possible for you. To qualify you must have worked in the garden centre industry for a year, have less than £10,000 in savings and earn less than £20,000 a year. To get an application form call 0203 192 0486, or e-mail info@rainydaytrust.org.uk. So why not stay warm this winter? We're your industry charity, here to help you through the tough times.
