Keeping safe

Tips to manage damp, mould and cold in your home

  • Keep all rooms in use heated to reduce condensation.
  • Prevent heat loss through walls, ceilings, and windows.
  • Make sure vents and air holes are not blocked so moisture can get out.
  • Reduce excess moisture; use extractor fans, cover pans while cooking, try not to dry clothes indoors.

Travel safely

  • Check weather conditions before you travel.

Avoid falls

  • Keep moving to maintain strength and balance.
  • Get regular eye and hearing checks.
  • Be careful of ice, slippery leaves and wet floors.
  • Take care of your feet and wear the right footwear.
