2 minutes ago
Businesses in Derby have raised £28,000 to help vulnerable people across the city who are struggling with the cost-of-living crisis. Derby Homes set a target of raising enough money to buy 500 slow cookers, 500 air fryers and 500 electric blankets.The city council is now working with Community Action Derby and Food 4 Thought Alliance, which are organising delivery of the items.Chair of the organisation Mike Ainsley said: "It has been a difficult few years for us all, however 2022 remains an anxious time as the country begins to see the growing cost of living pressures.
"As a collective group we are doing everything we can to help residents through the crisis. There's still time for local firms to get involved too to help the cause. "Heating an individual by using the blankets can save people hundreds off their energy bill when compared to solely relying on central heating. We hope they can make a real difference."
