Stay warm in winter

Winter can be a particularly difficult time for vulnerable individuals and families.

The cold can have serious health and financial impacts so being able to keep warm during the cold months is essential for well-being.

Local councils, charities and community organisations offer free Winter Warm Packs: a practical solution to staying warm and reducing your heating costs.
