We know there is a lot to think about as we head into this winter, including the cost of living.

Whether it’s advice and support for people to boost their immunity, keep warm, prioritise their mental health, eat well, stay active or look out for vulnerable family, friends and neighbours, the Stay Well This Winter campaign provides a link to top tips and a wealth of information and resources.

We have worked with partners across health, social care and the voluntary, charity and social enterprise sectors to create an authentic and local look and feel, using expert voices to give top tips and act as the faces for each topic.

Stay Well This Winter

The health and care community in Gloucestershire has launched a campaign to help people stay healthy and well this winter. It covers core themes like boosting your immunity with winter vaccinations, keeping warm, eating well, prioritising mental health and staying active, in the context of the rising cost of living.

The campaign is supported by a dedicated webpage with further information and resources.

Keep an eye on social media for videos with tips on how to Stay Well This Winter.
