flag NHS South West urges winter warmth to prevent health risks, offering heated community hubs for support.

flag NHS South West is urging residents to stay warm and healthy this winter, warning cold weather can worsen chronic conditions and increase risks of respiratory illnesses, heart attacks, strokes, and falls. flag Officials recommend keeping indoor temperatures at 18°C in main rooms, wearing multiple layers, eating well, and drinking hot beverages. flag For those struggling with heating costs, warm hubs—community centers offering shelter, food, and social connection—are available across the region, including one in Street, Somerset funded by the government’s Household Support Fund. flag These hubs provide physical warmth and emotional support, with visitors reporting improved mood and reduced loneliness. flag Staying physically active is also emphasized to support mental health, prevent falls, and aid recovery.
