OLDER people around the county are a bit warmer thanks to Cumbria Community Foundation’s Winter Warmth Fund.
The charity has received £34,000 in donations towards its ambitious target of raising £100,000 to keep Cumbria warm this winter.
The money has already been sent to the most vulnerable pensioners to keep their fires burning as the temperatures fall.
