Stay warm in winter

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

The cold can seriously impact your health and finances, so being able to keep warm during the cold months is essential for your well-being.

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

This pack is typically free for those who are most vulnerable to cold weather.

Eligibility does vary depending on the provider, but priority is given to:

• People aged 60 or over.
• Low-income households or individuals on benefits.
• People with disabilities or long-term health conditions.
• Families with young children (aged 5 and under).
• Homeless individuals or those at risk of homelessness.
• People who are struggling to afford their heating costs.
