Helping you be Safe and Warm at Home this winter

With the cold weather now here, we are keen to help our patients stay as safe and healthy in their homes as possible.
We have teamed up with East Suffolk Council’s, Suffolk Healthy Homes team to offer a wide range of free help in making sure homes are as warm and safe as possible. If you need help with any of the issues listed below (or you know of someone who would benefit), please let us know by completing the on-line form.
All we need to know is your name, address and what you’d like help with. Once your request has been received you will be contacted direct by a support officer from the Suffolk Healthy Homes team to further assess your needs.
It doesn’t matter where you live in Suffolk or if you own your home, rent it privately or through a housing association, you can still get the help or advice you need.
Please tell us about:
- Cold house – we can help with loft and cavity wall insulation, draught-proofing and loan you a temporary heater
- Damp and/or mould – we can investigate the causes of these and make sure they don’t happen in the future
- High heating costs – we can help with making sure you are receiving all the benefits you are entitled to and check how well your current heating is working. You may also qualify for a £150 one-off payment towards food/heating costs
- Getting around at home - would things such as grab rails and threshold levelling help you get around more easily and stop falling?
- Safety – we can provide carbon monoxide and humidity monitors as well as smoke alarms
