Could you be a Winter Friend?

A Winter Friend is someone you can count on. A friendly and helpful member of the community who genuinely cares about the wellbeing of the people around them.

They are thoughtful, approachable and never judgemental – sensing when someone needs a bit of support and offering a hand without expecting anything in return. 

It could be something as simple as helping out with day-to-day tasks from gritting a neighbour’s path when it gets icy to sharing local knowledge or a warming winter recipe!
