Keeping Healthy

Keeping Well this Winter

Tips for the Winter

Cold weather and darker days can take a toll on both our physical and mental health. During this campaign, we want to make sure everyone stays warm, well and supported over the winter months. The dark, cold weather, effects everyone differently, but hopefully some of this information might make it slightly easier.

Keeping Warm

Take regular breaks in warm breakout areas — don’t stay out in the cold longer than you need to.
Keep moving — even light stretching or walking helps keep your circulation going.
Make the most of free hot drinks and soup available onsite to warm up and stay hydrated.
Layer up — thermals, gloves, hats, and layered clothing help regulate your body temperature.

Health and Wellbeing

Flu Jabs – A flu vaccine helps protect not just you, but also your family, colleagues, and community.
- It’s especially important for people over 65, pregnant women, and anyone with long-term health conditions (like asthma, diabetes, or heart disease).
- Many pharmacies and GP surgeries offer flu jabs — check what’s available locally.

Mental Health Matters

Dark mornings and evenings can affect our mood and energy levels. If you’re finding it tough, remember: you’re not alone, and support is available.
- Try to get outside during daylight hours, even for a short walk at lunch.
- Talk to someone if you’re struggling, whether that’s a colleague, a manager, or a friend.
- Access the support available through our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) for confidential advice and guidance.

Do you need someone to talk to?

If you need to talk right now, there are many helplines staffed by trained people ready to listen. They won’t judge you, and could help you make sense of what you’re feeling.
