chronic health condition.

LOOK IN ON VULNERABLE
NEIGHBOURS
Cold and damp homes are not
just unpleasant places to live, they
can have a significant impact on
a person’s health and wellbeing.
People aged over 65 or those with
disabilities or who have long-term
health conditions are most vulnerable.
Staying warm over the winter can
help prevent serious illnesses such as
pneumonia, heart attacks, stroke and
even depression.
Council leader Julian Bell said:
“None of our residents should have to
suffer cold and damp homes this winter.
If you know someone who may be
vulnerable during cold weather, please
help them get the advice and support
they need by contacting COSIE.”
