Help from Citizens Advice Bureau to keep warm during winter

‘Want a warmer, cosier home?

Want to waste less money on energy bills?

With high energy prices (soon to get higher) and the imminent possible reduction of Universal Credit, many people are being forced to choose between paying their rent, buying food and keeping warm.

But it’s not just about being comfortable, prolonged cold can aggravate existing serious health conditions such as heart attacks, and strokes and lung conditions, such as COPD and asthma. It can also have a significant impact on mental health and is a known risk factor for suicide.
