Help through Winter
Age UK Somerset is involved in the 'Help Through Winter' programme.
The Household Support Fund ‘Help Through Winter’ programme is funded by Somerset Council, who is working alongside partners across education and the VCFSE sector to deliver essential support to families and residents.
If you are worried about your finances this winter we can help.
Contact our Information and Advice team who can discuss with you any options around claiming benefits or getting help with heating costs or keeping warm this winter.
If you are feeling lonely this winter, or you have no one to talk to, we can help.
It can be harder than usual during winter time to get out and see people and this can lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation. Our Wellbeing service is all about companionship and once you are registered you will be matched with a friendly volunteer who will either give you a regular phone call, visit you at home, or join you on a gentle Walk and Talk.
If you want to keep active with the benefit of meeting new people, we can help.
Every week we run 80 exercise and activity sessions across Somerset and North Somerset. Not only are these a great way to get warm and maintain your level of fitness through the winter but you'll find every group is very friendly and sociable. We even offer some sessions online so you can take part from the comfort of your own home.
Contact our Ageing Well team who will help you to find the perfect session to suit you.
