As someone with disabilities I will be staying indoors as much as possible this week after the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) issued a “Cold Health Alert” which came into effect at 12pm today (Monday November the 17th, 2025) and is set to expire at 8am on Saturday (November 22nd, 2025).
When I ventured outside just after 9am this morning It was very cold, meaning that I decided to wear my hat and gloves to stay as warm as I could, in a post from earlier this year I shared some useful tips about how to help the most vulnerable within our society keep warm during incidents like these.
The Tips!
- Don’t have them sitting still for more than an hour or so.
2. If they are someone who finds it difficult to move around, stretching their arms or legs from a sitting position (if they are able to) can also help to keep them warm.
3. Ask them if they would like some hot food, and drink or a blanket as those with circulation problems find it incredibly hard to keep warm at any time of the year but especially in the winter months (November, December, January & February)
