Stay well and warm

ONE Colchester’s 2020/21 Winter Resilience information

Thanks to partnership working, funding and community spirit, this project provides advice and support through the One Colchester initiative.

You can access support from The One Colchester Community Hub, 4-6 Long Wyre Street. Community360 will be distributing winter packs to those affected by the cold weather, including families on low incomes, people living with respiratory conditions and long-term health conditions, via our partners and pop-up sessions in the community.

Community360 and One Colchester partners are here to help you stay safe, warm, well and connected this winter.

If you would like to find out more, let us know how we can support you. To find out about the winter resilience campaign call 01206 505250.
