It is important to keep warm in colder weather, especially during winter. We are all more vulnerable to colds and infections and these are more serious if you have underlying health problems and as you get older.
The NHS has useful information on keeping warm and well in winter.
Older people can get help from the government with paying heating bills for winter. This is known as a ‘Winter Fuel Payment’.
Visit the government website or call 0800 731 0160 for more information.
