Surviving Winter 2016/17

Nov 14, 2016

Every year, Somerset Community Foundation runs an appeal, encouraging people who do not need their Winter Fuel Payment to donate it so that it can be redistributed to elderly residents suffering from fuel poverty in the county. Although last year was relatively mild, they still saw a high demand for grants to help keep people warm, well and able to eat properly. During that time SCF were able to provide vital grants to 390 Somerset households to help them through the winter. For many the choice of heating or eating is a reality.

About us

Long Sutton village and civil parish is in Somerset, England, situated 4 miles south of Somerton in the South Somerset district. With approximately 350 houses the village has a population of about 850. The centre of Long Sutton is characterised by a village green - with a lime tree at each corner and a chestnut tree in the centre. The Devonshire Arms Hotel is at one end of the green and at the other are the former primary school and Holy Trinity church which dates from 1490. The parish includes the village of Knole to the East and Upton to the West.

The population of the Parish has never been more mixed, socially and economically, than it is today. Incomers, long term residents, retired and working people all combine to form a caring and dynamic society which is determined to maintain all that is good about the Parish. In 2000 “Long Sutton at the Millennium” was written as a snapshot of the village. Also, the Women’s Institute produced a hand-painted map of the village illustrating key elements of its history, architecture and activities – copies of which are available from the village shop. In 2008 a Parish Plan was created to identify, preserve and enhance those qualities that make Long Sutton such a good place to live in see the Parish Council section.
