Age UK Solihull and the Community Advice Hubs are working hard to help vulnerable households keep warm this winter. This includes older people, families with young children and those living with disabilities, long-term conditions and other illnesses that mean they are more at risk during the cold weather, for example, diabetes and dementia.
If you are vulnerable to the effects of the cold we may be able to provide support such as:
*If you already have an electric blanket, we can swap it for a new one if it is over three years old or has visible signs of wear and tear.
If you need advice on keeping warm during this difficult winter please contact the Winter Warmth Helpline on 0121 704 8080 (you may need to leave a message and we will call you back) or winterwarmth@ageuksolihull.org.uk
If you are housebound and have no one to help you we can, in some instances, deliver items to your home.
Please note: we have limited stocks and will prioritise those most vulnerable to the cold and on a low income. If you can afford to purchase your own items please use a reputable retailer. We cannot provide over-blankets or heated throws.

Our Digital Champion Project offers free digital training for older Solihull residents.
Digital Champion Volunteers will help clients use a tablet or computer and learn skills such as online shopping, communicating via video calls or email, searching for information, accessing online learning and using apps.
Training is delivered via group sessions and one-to-one support. We have a tablet loan scheme for those who do not have their own IT equipment.
The lasting effects of the coronavirus pandemic and rising cost of living have led to more people struggling to make their money stretch to pay for normal daily living expenses.
If you are in debt, the most important thing to do is to ask for help. No one chooses to be in debt but you can choose to get help and support and the earlier you do this the better.

This advice is free, accessible, confidential, clear, and most of all, independent.
