Forwarded from Every Disabled Child Matters
With the Budget fast approaching, we urgently need all our supporters to take part in our action on winter fuel allowance. If you haven't yet done so, please email your MP at
If you have already taken action - a huge thank you. Please pass this email on to everyone you know and ask them to sign up to the campaign at and then take action themselves!
EDCM is calling for government to help families with disabled children out of poverty by piloting a winter fuel allowance, matching that currently paid to pensioners. This is needed because research shows two-thirds of families with disabled children struggle to pay their fuel bills during winter.
We want the Chancellor to make this commitment in the March Budget announcement.
Thanks to all those who have emailed us already about this issue, we have taken note of all your comments and suggestions. And to all our supporters, thank you for your continued support for the campaign.
All best wishes
Pam
