Winter can bring extra challenges. Dark evenings and icy pavements can make it harder to get out, while cold weather can make us vulnerable to illness. Higher fuel bills can be worrying too.
Our guide Winter wise has practical tips on staying warm and healthy in the winter months, including information on Winter Fuel Payments, so you don't need to dread the cold weather.
The advice in this guide applies to England only. A lot of it will still be relevant to you but we have a few suggestions if you are looking for advice that is specific to other parts of the UK.
