With rising energy costs and food bills, there are many living locally who will struggle to keep warm in the coming months and local groups are trying to reach out to them and offer some warmth and support.

Annan & District Rotary have purchased a quantity of Sherpa Blankets to be donated towards a local initiative in Annan providing warm blankets to local residents struggling to afford heating over the coming winter months.
