A couple in their 70s who were facing winter with no heating after nine years of boiler issues have been donated a new one for free thanks to an “angel in disguise” and an anonymous public donation.
Ann and Keith Hartley, aged 71 and 74 respectively, have had a malfunctioning boiler in their home in Burnley, Lancashire, for almost a decade but it stopped working completely this year – ahead of a winter of soaring living costs.
