Tips for keeping warm

​

• Draw your curtains at dusk to help keep heat inside your rooms 

• Don’t cover or obstruct your radiators or storage heaters

• Food gives you energy and helps to keep your body warm so have plenty of hot food and drinks 

• If possible, try to move around at least once an hour.

• Wear lots of thin layers – clothes made from cotton, wool or fleecy fibres are good at keeping in the heat

• Try and heat your home to at least 18°C 

• Only use your electric blanket as instructed and get it tested every three years

• Never use a hot water bottle with an electric blanket

• Check in on vulnerable neighbours and relatives to share these keeping warm tips
