Nicolas Kee-Mew, a care home manager, is participating in the London Landmarks Half Marathon to raise funds for Independent Age, a charity supporting the elderly in poverty. With government cuts to Winter Fuel Payments impacting vulnerable seniors, Kee-Mew aims to draw attention to the plight of older individuals facing financial hardship. He has previously encountered Independent Age during his prior runs, which inspired his current efforts. The charity's services are crucial, and their recent petition, supported by half a million signatures, illustrates the pressing need for continued government assistance.
Nicolas Kee-Mew is raising funds for Independent Age by running the London Landmarks Half Marathon to aid vulnerable elderly affected by Winter Fuel Payment cuts.
This is an incredible charity that helps older people, he says. I see first-hand how important their services are, working in a care home.
It's been a tough year for older people having lost the fuel payment which is a big blow to those on low incomes.
Around two million already live in poverty and millions more face financial hardship. The need for a campaigning voice has never been higher.
