As the colder months approach, many households face the challenges of rising living costs, keeping homes warm, and maintaining health and wellbeing. To help residents navigate the season safely, Cornwall Council—alongside local health and community partners—has launched its comprehensive Winter Wellbeing initiative.
The campaign provides essential resources, practical advice, and vital support networks for individuals, families, and anyone who might need a little extra help staying healthy and comfortable during the winter months.
What’s Included in the Winter Wellbeing Initiative?
- Help with Home Heating & Energy: Guidance on accessing heating and insulation grants, managing energy bills, and combatting damp or cold conditions. Free and independent home energy advice is also available via partners like Community Energy Plus
- Health and Immunisations: Information on staying protected against seasonal illnesses, including guidance on flu and COVID-19 vaccinations.
- Financial and Practical Support: Access to local welfare schemes, council tax relief, grants, and advice on navigating cost-of-living pressures.
- Community Connections: Details on local warm spaces, community groups, and mental health support services available across Cornwall to combat loneliness and isolation during the winter months.
Whether you are looking for practical tips to make your home more energy-efficient or want to find out what support services are active in your area, the Winter Wellbeing campaign serves as a centralised hub for all the essential guidance you need.
