The Fellowship strives to support all people with polio in the UK in a variety of ways including grants to help with high winter fuel costs. All money donated to this Winter Warmth Appeal will be used to keep Fellowship members warm this winter. This will be achieved by providing practical support and advice on keeping utility bills down, cold intolerance fact sheets and continuing to provide heating grants for qualifying members.

In order to continue to improve and extend our services we need your help.

The British Polio Fellowship does not receive any government funding for our basic core work. We are entirely reliant on the generosity of our members and supporters.

If you would like to make a donation on-line follow this link, over the phone or set up a Direct Debit, please call 0800 018 0586, or send your cheque payable to the "British Polio Fellowship" and marked "Winter Appeal" to Unit A, Eagle Office Centre, The Runway, South Ruislip, HA4 6SE.

We are kicking off the appeal by launching our new Fellowship Cookery book. The aim of the book is to raise awareness about the cold intolerance experienced by some people with PPS. The title of the book is "FEELING CHILLI? (and other cool recipes) cookbook".

Many of our celebrity supporters have contributed some too, including Hannah Gordon and Patrick Moore. Retailing at just £5 plus £2.50 postage and packing, this book will make an excellent Christmas present for you or your friends and all of the retail price is being donated to the fund.
