Help our tenants stay Safe, Warm and Well this Winter

Everyone deserves a home where they feel safe, warm and well. But for people with learning disabilities, autistic people and those with complex needs, winter can bring additional challenges.

At Zetetick Housing, we provide safe, secure homes for more than 200 people across Sussex, Surrey, Kent and South London. We believe a good home is the foundation for independence, wellbeing and a better quality of life.

**But having a home is just the beginning.**

Why winter can be particularly challenging

Some of our tenants have higher energy needs because they need their homes kept warmer, use more electricity for essential equipment or need to wash clothes and bedding more frequently. Others spend longer periods at home, making heating and energy costs a greater concern.

Rising living costs can make it harder to stay comfortable and healthy, particularly for people living on limited incomes.

Winter can also bring challenges around safety, social isolation and wellbeing. Accessible information, practical support and opportunities to connect with others can make a real difference.

Our Safe, Warm and Well this Winter campaign

This winter, we're bringing tenants, families, care partners and local organisations together to help people feel safer, warmer and healthier at home.

Our campaign has three priorities:

- **Safe:** Helping tenants feel confident and secure at home through accessible safety advice, information and practical support.

- **Warm:** Supporting tenants to manage energy costs, understand how to keep their homes warm and access useful winter essentials.

- **Well:** Promoting physical and mental wellbeing, social connection and independence during the colder months.

Our Winter Party on 26 November will bring tenants and partners together to share practical advice, celebrate our community and, most importantly, listen to tenants about what matters to them.

Their experiences and ideas will help shape the support we provide.

How your donation can help

We're raising funds to provide practical support that helps tenants stay safe, warm and well at home.

Your donation could help us provide:

- **£10:** Warm winter essentials, such as thermal socks or gloves.

- **£20:** A cosy blanket or other items to help someone stay comfortable at home.

- **£30:** A winter wellbeing pack with practical items to support comfort and health.

- **£50:** Home safety or energy-saving items to help tenants feel more confident and independent.

- **£100:** A contribution towards tailored improvements or practical support identified by tenants.

These are examples of what your donation could help fund. We'll use the money raised to respond to tenants' needs and priorities.

## Can you help us make a difference?

Whether you donate £10, £50 or whatever you can afford, your support will help us go beyond providing housing to make a meaningful difference to people's everyday lives.

**Together, we can help more people feel safe, warm and well in the place that matters most – their home.**
