Not everyone feels festive at Christmas 🎄

Older people are more likely to experience loneliness and social isolation and it can seriously affect their health. For many, Christmas can be an especially difficult time as routines change and services slow down.

Age UK estimates that 1.5 million older people will spend Christmas alone.

Small acts of kindness can make a huge difference:

💛 A call
💛 A chat
💛 A visit

Age UK is there all year to support older people and show you how to help too.

👉 Be the reason someone feels seen this Christmas. Visit Age UK to find out more.

One popular goal is cutting back on alcohol and the benefits can start sooner than you think. Reducing alcohol intake can help to:

✔️ Improve sleep and energy levels
✔️ Support mental wellbeing and mood
✔️ Lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease
✔️ Help with weight management
✔️ Improve liver health and overall immunity

Small changes can make a big difference. If you’re thinking about making healthier choices in 2026, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

An average of 2,660 patients per day were in a hospital bed with flu last week. That’s enough flu patients each day to fill more than three whole hospital trusts!

If you haven’t already, and you’re eligible, get your flu vaccine. It reduces your risk of becoming seriously ill this Christmas and helps protect those around you 🎄

Already feeling unwell?
💧 Drink plenty of water
😴 Rest and sleep
🏠 If you have a high temperature, stay at home to help reduce the spread

Grief Awareness Week 🌿

This year’s theme: Growing with Grief

We’re reflecting on the powerful message shared by The Good Grief Trust

“Losing a loved one feels like an ending in so many ways, but in time, it can also become the ground from which something new begins. After that loss, we can't go back to who we were, but instead, we can grow into someone new shaped by love, memories, and resilience. This growth doesn’t erase the pain, but it allows HOPE to return. We may even become more present, more compassionate, more aware of what truly matters in life.”

If you or someone you know is navigating grief, head over to The Good Grief Trust for more resources, support, and guidance.

Earache is really common but can be really uncomfortable for children.

If your child is experiencing ear pain, please remember that your local pharmacist is a great first point of contact.

Pharmacists are highly trained in managing common childhood illnesses, including earache, and can offer practical advice and over-the-counter treatments to help relieve symptoms. They’ll also advise you if your child needs to be reviewed by a GP or another healthcare professional.
