🥶 A YELLOW Cold-Health Alert has been issued for the North East - in effect between 17/01/2025 at 18:00 and 21/01/2025 at 09:00.

Cold weather causes increased risk to the health of vulnerable individuals. Please see the tips below for keeping yourself and those you care for safe during cold weather:

Plan ahead
• Check the weather forecast and the news.
• Make sure you have sufficient food and medicine.

Keep yourself warm
• Try to heat rooms you spend a lot of time in, such as the living room or bedroom, to at least 18°C.
• Keep your bedroom windows closed at night.
• Wear several layers of thinner clothing; this could keep you warmer than one thicker layer.

Prepare your home
• Check what support for housing and energy bills may be available for you.
• Use energy saving tips to save money on heating.
• Make sure appliances are safe and working well.

Get help if needed. Call NHS 111 or in an emergency 999.

Shape The Play 😃

Good afternoon,

We’ve just had our first session of 2025 over at the LiveWell Dementia Hub.

We’ve made some changes this year, sessions are still on 3rd Wednesday of the month but now start at 1pm, start with some gentle chair-based exercise, then we have a ‘Football Memories’ session, where we share memorabilia, talk about our memories of football, whether that playing, watching either in a stadium or on TV or supporting family members.

Today we talked about our favourite teams and players, our own ‘level’ when it came to playing.

We looked at some old football books and newspaper clippings (one of which had an unexpected suprise within).

We also shared some football shirts and tried to guess the Club or Country.

These sessions are open to the wider community as well, so if this sounds interesting please get in touch or pop along!

Next session is Wednesday 19th February at 1pm.

❤️
