Feeling the chill this winter? đŸ„¶

Keeping warm is essential for your well-being and health. Here are a few tips on warming up when it’s cold outside:

* Reduce draughts where you can
* Layer up – wear lots of layers of thinner clothing
* Cover extremities – hats, gloves, thick socks and scarves
* Eat healthily with plenty of hot drinks ☕
* Avoid alcohol
* Keep moving

Keeping the cold at bay can help you to stay healthy over these wintry months.

If you’re retired and struggling with costs this winter, check if you’re eligible for the winter fuel payment. If you were born before 22nd September 1959, you could get help to pay your heating bills for the winter of 2025 to 2026. đŸ’·

Men’s health is facing serious challenges globally, and the statistics are sobering:

* Men die on average 4.5 years earlier than women, often from preventable causes.
* Prostate cancer affects over 10.8 million men worldwide.
* Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young men.
* Suicide claims the life of one man every minute, with men making up 69% of all suicides globally.

Movember has become a powerful movement in tackling these issues. By funding innovative research and community-based programs, it’s helping to:

* Improve early detection and treatment of prostate and testicular cancer.
* Support mental health initiatives tailored specifically for men.
* Break down stigmas around men seeking help, especially for mental health.

November is designated as Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month. This plays a crucial role in amplifying awareness about this often-overlooked disease. With World Pancreatic Cancer Day falling on the third Thursday of the month, efforts are concentrated to highlight the significance of early detection and support for affected individuals.

In the UK alone, approximately 10,500 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer annually, making it the 10th most common cancer in the country. Despite its prevalence, awareness of its symptoms and available support remains limited.

This awareness month seeks to educate the public, encourage early diagnosis, and offer hope and resources to those living with pancreatic cancer, ultimately striving to improve outcomes and support networks for patients and their families.

The government’s Best Start in Life campaign, delivered by the Department for Education and the Department for Health and Social Care, aims to help break down barriers to opportunity for every family, supporting parents and children from pregnancy through to age five and beyond.

Best Start in Life brings together trusted information, advice, and support - making it easier and more affordable for families to access early education and childcare, health guidance, and practical help at every stage.

Best Start in Life is here to help parents and carers whether they are expecting, navigating their child’s early health, exploring childcare options, or preparing for school. The new website offers practical tools like a childcare checker, a breakfast clubs map, and links to local support, all designed to make the journey as a parent easier.

From pregnancy to childcare, get advice and support for your child’s development at www.BestStartinLife.gov.uk
