Stay Safe This Winter With Forward Mid’s Newsletter
For many Winter is the most challenging season of the year – from trying to keep warm to navigating icy pavements. Forward Mid have released their 2025 Winter Newsletter, full of information on what support is available for disabled people and people with long term conditions living in Midlothian this Winter.
Inside you’ll find out about local organisations that can give you practical help – from saving money on your energy bills to keeping your home safe. There are tips on how you can look after your own physical and mental health as well as how you can help yourself and your neighbours, with an extensive list of emergency contact numbers.
Perhaps the most challenging aspect of Winter is keeping in contact with people regularly and safely, feeling the warmth that a good conversation can have. Bad weather can put paid to physically meeting people but inside Forward Mid’s newsletter you’ll find options to help overcome this barrier.
On behalf of everyone at Forward Mid, we wish you a healthy and safe winter. Be as active as you can be. Keep connected. Keep talking. Take advantage of the support that is available. Take care of yourself and others where possible.
