Winter Wellbeing

Cold weather can affect your health and ability to get out and about. This page provides information on staying well and connected during the winter months. 

If you're not very mobile, are 65 or over, or have a health condition, such as heart or lung disease, heat your home to at least 18C (65F).

NHS Leeds has created a useful guide on keeping warm this winter to help you stay warm and well.

Winter brings many challenges linked to cold weather and infections, including flu and coronavirus. 

Public Health Leeds have created a checklist to help ensure that people at risk of illness due to cold weather can access key support.
