As this will be a very different winter for everyone, in Falkirk, Scotland, and across the world, we have launched our Wellness in Winter campaign, helping our communities look after each other.

We want to focus on people’s health and wellbeing throughout the winter – everything from physical health (including access to Vitamin D, and flu vaccinations and how they are being rolled out) and mental health, to how to keep spirits up during the festive period (and beyond, into January), and financial worries.

In addition (and similar to our popular Halloween page), we have gathered information on adapted and safe festive activities across Falkirk, where local groups and communities have proved that however difficult a year it is been, it will not stop people celebrating “the most wonderful time of the year”.

Previously, we would have organised events which brought together our local groups and services with our key partners, allowing people to access this information in person. This year, we want to help Falkirk groups and communities promote their activities and efforts.

We hope you find this page useful, and that you stay safe and well this winter.
