Keeping well

4. Look out for others

Other people, such as older neighbours, friends and family members, may need a bit of extra help over the winter.

There’s a lot you can do to help people who are more frail than you:

• Keep an eye on elderly and vulnerable friends, relatives and neighbours who may be more susceptible to the cold weather, especially if they suffer from any ongoing medical conditions.  Ask how they are keeping warm during cold weather.
• Make sure they’re stocked up with enough food supplies for a few days, in case they can’t go out.
