Keep Warm in Winter

The Keep Warm Keep Well in Winter campaign is launched each autumn by the Department of Health. It is a campaign to give information about remaining healthy in cold weather, energy efficiency and also about grants and benefits available for some older people.

The campaign is supported by the Warm Front Scheme and Winter Fuel Payment telephone line where callers can get further information on their eligibility for grants and benefits.
