Health chiefs urge folk to check neighbours

Derbyshire health leaders have backed a NHS campaign urging people to check on elderly friends and neighbours during winter.

Those who sign the pledge will get free cold weather alerts and email tips throughout the winter to help them do their bit.

To sign up visit www.nhs.uk/winterfriends.

The promise says: “I will take time out this winter to look in on an elderly friend or neighbour to make sure they are warm and coping well.”
