Winter Warmers

As winter once again approaches, our Winter Warmer campaign is here to ensure that everyone remains healthy and happy despite the additional pressures bought about during the coldest months of the year.

The winter months are known to put a strain on personal finances, and all too often people are forced to give up necessities to make ends meet, compromising their wellbeing in the process – a problem which has only been further exacerbated by the current cost-of-living crisis.  

To help combat this, a number of local organisations and groups are running sessions and events to provide support for those in need. These sessions and events cover topics such as food insecurity, keeping warm, budgeting, and other issues which commonly plague people during the winter months.  

Aside from these sessions and events, groups and organisations are also looking for ways to help tackle the isolation which many, especially those who are older, suffer health conditions, or live alone, can experience during the winter months. Some groups are organising regular clubs and social gatherings, whilst others have befriending services and are looking for volunteers.  

Our Winter Warmers campaign displays a wide array of the activities across Devon which can help people stay healthy and happy this winter. You can also contact your local platform partner as they may be able to be able to refer you to additional activities taking place near you.
