A kind-hearted pensioner has donated her entire winter fuel allowance to help other women and children.
The woman, from the Wirral, who did not want to be named, contacted Wirral leader Janette Williamson and asked her to give the full £300 Winter Fuel Payment to Wirral Women and Children's Aid.
When she heard the news Cllr Williamson said it was "an incredibly generous and selfless act" and was touched when she opened the letter to find a cheque and explanation on why the pensioner wanted to donate.
