• Aim to keep the temperature of your main living room at 21C. The rest of your home should be heated to at least 18C.
  • Make sure you have plenty of warm drinks and hot meals.
  • If you are sitting down, use a shawl or blanket to keep you warm and try to keep your feet up, as the air is cooler at ground level.
  • Wear warm clothes in bed. When it’s very cold, wear thermal underwear, bed socks and even a woolly hat to prevent heat being lost from your head.
  • Use a hot water bottle or electric blanket to warm your bed.
