Independent Age - Winterwise: A guide to keeping warm, safe and well this winter 2025/26

01/20/2026

Winter brings its own set of challenges, from darker evenings to icy pavements, which can make getting out and about more difficult.

That's why the Winterwise guide, created by Independent Age in collaboration with UK Power Networks, is a timely and practical resource packed with advice to help you stay warm, healthy, and confident throughout the colder months.

The guide is clearly organised into three helpful sections, Staying Warm, Staying Safe, and Staying Well. It includes seated and standing exercises you can do at home. You'll also find clear guidance on how to get up from the floor if you've had a fall.
