The founder of an anti-poverty charity hailed as a hero for his work helping people during the cost of living crisis decided to help people because of a “sickening” boiler scam.
James Anderson is the man behind charity Disabled and Elderly Heating Emergency Repair (DEPHER) which provides a lifeline for thousands of struggling families.
He revealed he was inspired to help people when he was called to visit an elderly man who had been told he had to pay £5,500 for a boiler.
