Nobody should die from preventable, cold-related illness. We need your help to end the national scandal of excess winter deaths.

Add your voice to our winter deaths campaign

Your voice and experience will make the public listen and increase the force of the message that we are taking to the Government, highlighting the need for change. Tell us your story and join our campaign

Contact your MP, AM, MLA or MSP

MPs, AMs, MLAs and MSPs pay a great deal of attention to an issue if they receive a lot of letters about it. Find out who your MP is, and send them a letter or email drawing attention to our campaign asks (find out what we are calling for).

Why not tell your MP about your experiences of the winter cold and challenge your MP to spend a day without central heating.
