❄️Breathe easier this winter!

Cold weather can be tough on your lungs, especially if you have COPD, but there are some simple ways to help you breathe easier this winter:

Your COPD winter checklist
✔ Have you had your winter vaccines?
✔ Have you checked how you use your inhaler?
✔ Do you have enough inhalers and medicines at home?
✔ Do you know what to do if your symptoms get worse?
✔ Have you stopped smoking or asked for help to quit?
✔ Do you have a plan if you start to feel unwell?
✔ Have you had an annual COPD review?

Talk to your COPD nurse or GP about more ways to stay healthy this winter.

For some people, symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) can feel more noticeable or harder to manage during the winter.

But small things can help:

🔵 try some physical activity – anything that gets you moving
🔵 make the most of natural light – getting outside or sitting near windows
🔵 plan for tougher days – shifting stressful tasks or building in more rest

There’s also treatment available if you’re finding things really tough – such as light therapy, talking therapies or medication.

County Durham Carers Support.
We’re joining Wellbeing Wednesday – Caring for the Carer at Christmas
Blackhall Community Centre
Wednesday 3rd December 2025
10:00am – 12:00pm

The festive season can be joyful, but for many Carers it can also be overwhelming. Join us at the Wellbeing Wednesday Coffee Morning, where we’ll be offering a warm space to relax, chat, and connect with others who understand the challenges of caring at Christmas.

A member of our team will be there to share information, advice, and support tailored to Carers. Whether you need a listening ear, guidance on services available, or simply a moment for yourself, we’re here to help you feel valued, supported, and recognised.

Because caring for someone else starts with caring for yourself as a Carer!
