Prepare for a safe winter with our ‘Let’s get ready for winter’ leaflet

Winter can be a great time of year but sometimes wintry conditions can disrupt our daily lives.

This leaflet outlines a few simple steps to prepare for winter and has some useful contact information should you need them.

Within the leaflet it explains how to:

  • stay warm during the day and night
  • what to do to find out if you’re able to claim financial help for heating your home
  • how to deal with a water pipe which freezes or bursts
  • what you can do to help other people such as clearing snow and ice

as well as information on driving in poor weather conditions

At the back of the leaflet we’ve included emergency contact details which may be useful during an emergency.
