In a bad winter, 300 elderly Cumbrians die every year due to cold weather as they are made to choose between heating and eating.
The Big Sleep is held to raise money for Cumbria Community Foundation’s Winter Warmth Appeal – a pot of cash distributed to help older people suffering from rising fuel costs and poor health. In the first four years, the Big Sleep has attracted more than 500 people and raised nearly £100,000 for the appeal.
