Winter is very challenging for older people, because its dark and cold and hard to get out.Older people feel more isolated and get lonelier.They have more change of catching winter colds and flu than the rest of us.And this year, we have not just the challenges of Covid but also a national energy crisis, with fuel prices rocketing.
We are worried that older people will feel they can’t afford to put their heating on on or have a hot dinner.And that could mean that winter deaths amongst older people will rise.You can help us to prevent some of those deaths.We have information, advice and support for older people in East Cheshire to help them keep warm, keep moving and stay healthy.Please help us to get this information out to as many older people as possible.
Your £3 can help us get a Winter Well Being pack out to an older person in Cheshire East.It’s a big job, because there are 89,000 older people in the area.Every single donation helps to makes a big difference.
Thank you.
