Age UK Camden's top tips to keeping well this winter
- To save on heating bills, close off rooms you're not using and keep the blinds/windows closed to keep heat in.
- Dress warmly on cold days, even if you're staying inside. Wearing socks and slippers can make a big difference.
- Ask friends, family or neighbours to check on you during cold weather. If you're on your own, ask a neighbour for their phone number in case you need their assistance.
- Put on a hat or scarf if going outside during cold weather. Always wear a waterproof coat or jacket if it's wet or snowy.
