The Elderly Shouldn't Have To Choose Between Food And Heating.
Following the publicity from Marcus Rashford's campaign, I feel the government should be doing more by providing those who cannot afford, or are unable to go shopping for food to get help with this, as so many cannot have visitors due to restrictions, or sheer loneliness.
Provide better support to the generation that made this generation a possibility, be it food parcels or hot meals provided by local establishments. Also I think there should be an arrangement in place for those elderly who need gas or electricity too.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand you're concerned about support for the elderly, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. The Government already provides a winter fuel allowance. You can find out more here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do, such as providing funding for councils to continue providing food parcels to the vulnerable and elderly.
