Staying warm, our top tips:

• Avoid unnecessary trips - use public transport where possible.
• Wrap up warm - put them scarf, hat and glove sets you received for Christmas to good use. And dig those thermals out!
• Wear warm boots/shoes when outside together with thick socks.
• If you know of an elderly vulnerable person, make sure they are comfortable and warm with efficient heating facilities.
• Ensure your household heating is working along with good draught proofing for insulation.
• Have plenty of hot food and drinks.
• Stay active with plenty of exercise.
• Invest in a 'onesie', 'snuggie' or 'slanket'.
