The document is an appeal from the Cumbria Foundation charity requesting donations to help older Cumbrians stay warm during winter and to assist victims of flooding from Storm Desmond. As many as 300 older residents die each year due to cold weather as they must choose between heating and food, and over 6,000 homes were flooded in December 2015 from Storm Desmond. Donations are requested to help those affected stay warm and help flood victims and communities recover.
