Look in on Vulnerable People

Please keep a check on your older neighbours and relatives even if they remain well during the winter months, they may welcome other support to keep their independence and prevent social isolation.  

Make sure they: 

• are safe and well 
• are warm enough, especially at night 
• have stocks of food and medicines so they do not need to go our during the very cold weather 
• have clear paths of snow and ice to avoid any slips and trips 

If you are worried about a relative or elderly neighbour, contact your local council or call the Age Scotland helpline for free on 0800 12 44 222 (9am to 5pm Monday to Friday). 

If you are concerned the person may have hypothermia, contact 111
