Keep your home warm by:
- Trying to heat the rooms you spend the most time in, such as the living room or bedroom, to at least 18 degrees Celsius
- Using draught excluders around doors to ensure heat stays in the room
- Drawing the curtains when it gets dark.
Keep yourself warm by:
- Moving about regularly
- Wearing plenty of layers
- Drinking hot drinks to keep you warm
- Covering your head and hands when you’re out and about e.g. wearing a hat and gloves.
