Following the huge success of our Keep Warm, Keep Well campaign over the past few years, we’re excited to announce two events in Widnes and Runcorn in partnership with Halton and St Helens VCA.

At both events, various partners will provide advice and information to help you stay warm and healthy in your home during the winter months.

Halton and St Helens VCA will also be running their free winter coat collection, and other winter warmth items provided by Halton Housing—such as blankets, hot water bottles, hand warmers, gloves, dehumidifiers, and slow cookers—will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Don't miss out!

Other partners attending include Sure Start to Later Life, Citizens Advice, United Utilities, Halton Carers Centre, The Red Cross, Kingsway Children's Centre, and more.

Our Neighbourhood Officers, Customer Engagement, and Welfare Benefits teams will also be on hand to offer support. The Halton Housing Bistro team will provide tasters and information on how to prepare hearty, low-cost meals during the winter months.
