Weather and Cold Health Alert – Important Information

The Met Office has issued an amber weather warning for snow in our area from 8:00pm tonight (Thursday 8 January 2026) until 9:00am tomorrow (Friday 9 January 2026). A yellow warning for snow is also in place from 5:00pm today until 12:00 noon tomorrow.

Heavy snowfall associated with Storm Goretti is expected and may cause disruption and hazardous travel conditions. During the amber warning period, the Met Office advises that:

Travel delays on roads are likely, with some vehicles and passengers potentially stranded

In addition, an amber cold health alert is in place across all regions of England until 12:00 noon on Sunday 11 January. Prolonged low temperatures may impact health and wellbeing, particularly for older people and those with existing health conditions.

With cold, flu, and respiratory illnesses currently prevalent, it is important that extra precautions are taken during this period. Please ensure vulnerable individuals are checked on regularly and have adequate supplies of food, heating, and essential medication to avoid unnecessary travel. Practical support such as shopping or collecting prescriptions may be needed.

Older people and those who find walking difficult are strongly advised to avoid going out in icy conditions unless absolutely necessary, as this significantly reduces the risk of slips and falls. If travel is unavoidable, appropriate footwear with good grip should be worn, along with warm clothing, hats, and gloves.

Tips for staying warm and well:

- Keep the home, or main living area, heated to at least 18°C

- Wear several layers of clothing

- Keep moving regularly where safe to do so

- Drink warm fluids

- Use a hot water bottle when sitting for extended periods

As we come to the end of Christmas and look ahead to the New Year, AliceCare@Home would like to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to our carers.

Your dedication, compassion, and professionalism make an extraordinary difference to the lives of the people we support. The care you provide — particularly at this time of year — reflects the values at the heart of our organisation.

Love you all, ladies, but seeeeeee ya!
Annual leave mode loading…
Meanwhile, it’s been a manic Friday so far and it's not even 10am — poor Hannah doesn’t know if she’s coming or going this morning.
Send help.
Send Diet Coke
Send a spare Hannah.

Finally… someone brave enough to speak the truth.

Today is 11th December, known globally (apparently) as International Mountain Day.
Which is hilarious, because my morning felt like climbing a mountain in slippers while holding a box of baubles and a half-eaten mince pie.

Meanwhile, our carers are out supporting the community like the main characters in every feel-good Christmas film ever made.

Honestly? Icon behaviour.

Annual Leave Countdown:
53 hours remaining.
(I am clinging to that number like it’s the star on top of the tree.)

The Grinch came to steal Christmas, Sarah came to steal the show 💃

Our tree has achieved sentience and is now recruiting followers at the Methodist Church.
If it hands you a leaflet, just take it. Don’t argue.
After the spectacle, seek refuge at our Queen Street office we provide the caffeine.

We understand… and we apologise in advance for the emotional damage it may cause.
