Keeping Well this Winter

In December 2020, Greater Manchester Combined Authority Ageing Hub and partners launched a campaign to support older people who are not online with practical information to keep well this winter.

At this time of year, shorter days and colder weather mean it’s normal to stay in more and be less active. We’re more likely to become ill from flu and colds, and to feel a bit down.

Due to Covid-19, this year it is especially important for those use who are older and those with pre-existing health conditions to take extra care and be prepared. Together we can support and protect each other by keeping in touch and looking after ourselves at this time.

This booklet updates an earlier version, adds new sections and has lots of ideas and suggestions to help us keep active and connected, stay safe and well, and manage our money and home. It is written for those with less or no access to online resources and includes a list of useful contact numbers.

There are also lots of online resources available to support this information on the Greater Manchester Combined Authority website
