ELAINE MURRAY MSP WELCOMES AGE SCOTLAND’S 2014 ‘HOT TIPS’ CALENDAR
Written by author on November 27, 2013
Dumfriesshire MSP Elaine Murray is helping Age Scotland distribute its annual ‘Hot Tips’ Calendar as part of its ‘Spread the Warmth’ campaign. Each month, the calendar looks at issues to help older people get prepared for winter. This year, more than 75,000 copies have been produced.
Dr Murray said:
“With this winter forecasted to be one of the worst in over 60 years, it is more important than ever that local people know the best ways to keep warm. Unfortunately due to the big six energy companies raising their already extortionate prices, using central heating is not always the most affordable option, especially for the elderly. That’s why Age Scotland’s ‘Hot Tips’ calendar is a fantastic resource for older people and I would encourage my constituents to pop in and pick up their free copy. With winters becoming increasingly severe in Scotland, it’s important that people prepare for it.”
Copies of the calendar are available at Dr Murray’s office at 5 Friars Vennel, Dumfries. They can also be found in your local Age Scotland retail shop, where available, as well as from your local library or GP surgery.
