WEATHER WATCH

In response to the current severe weather warnings, again can we ask that neighbours and friends please regularly check in with the older and vulnerable members of our community to ensure they have fuel, food, water and are in good communicat­ion with family, friends and neighbours.

The winter months can be a difficult time for many people who are vulnerable, alone and isolated. It can be a very frightenin­g experience to be without shelter, warmth, food or essential items such as medication.

We are appealing to all to look out for the older people in our community who may live alone, have no family or may be at risk of suffering from fuel poverty, illness or loneliness.
