The winter months can affect our mood and energy, but there are things you can do to support your wellbeing! 🥶☀️

If you are feeling down this winter, try:
• eating a healthy diet
• getting moving to release endorphins
• going outdoors as often as possible
• soaking up some sun by opening the curtains wide and sitting near a window or going on a short walk
• connecting with friends, family or community
• talking to a health care professional if changes in mood or energy are affecting your daily life

Do you know the early signs of dementia?

In the beginning, dementia symptoms can be subtle, easy to miss, and sometimes hard to distinguish from normal age-related changes or other conditions. Because of this, many people don’t feel concerned enough to see their GP.

But if you notice any changes, it’s important to pay attention.

It might not be dementia - but if it is, catching it early can make a real difference. Early diagnosis opens the door to the right care, treatment, and support.

If you recognise any of these common dementia symptoms in yourself or someone you care about, download our symptoms checklist and make an appointment with your GP.

With temperatures forecasted to drop across the UK over the next few days, it’s important to make sure that we’re looking out for our loved ones living with dementia.

Winter can be a particularly difficult time for somebody living with dementia. The bad weather and colder temperatures can bring specific challenges, and can sometimes make symptoms temporarily worse.

They may not always be able to communicate that they are cold – or they might not even recognise it themselves.

Perception issues can also make it difficult for someone with dementia to see icy patches on a pavement or understand that a surface may be extra slippery.

So make sure to check in regularly on loved ones, friends and neighbours living with dementia, and follow our useful tips to help support them through the winter.
