Keep warm and well this winter - In England

Keep Warm Keep Well (KWKW) is a national campaign to reduce cold-related illnesses and deaths during winter.

The campaign offers advice on keeping your family healthy, warm and living well in winter, as well as information on financial assistance, such as grants to make your home warmer or financial help to meet the cost of heating bills.

A free Keep Warm Keep Well Winter Guide for families is available that gives practical tips on keeping you and your family warm and staying healthy during the colder months. For more information on staying warm and well through the winter, look out for Keep Warm Keep Well leaflets in your GP’s surgery, local pharmacy or Council offices. You can also view all the information online at: (New window) www.direct.gov.uk.
