Stay warm and well this winter

Practical advice on staying warm and well at home this winter

Staying warm is central to older people’s health and wellbeing, but, even before the current cost of energy crisis, our helpline regularly heard from callers facing unique challenges in managing this at home.

Upcoming workshops:

That’s why we have been so delighted to team up with SGN, who distribute gas across Scotland, to offer energy support and advice for older people through our ongoing partnership – which celebrated its first anniversary in the summer. By funding services such as energy advice via our helpline, online energy workshops, and supporting engagement with frontline SGN engineers, SGN have joined us in helping more older people across Scotland access the help available to them and identifying where further support is needed. Our Heat Your Home for Less workshops offer practical advice to help older people stay safe and warm at home and cover a range of topics including using energy affordably and efficiently, energy tariffs, and accessing benefits and financial support which could help with energy costs.

Thursday 1 Dec 10am-12pm Wednesday 14 Dec 10am-12pm
