 East Sussex County Council will be writing to everyone who uses adult social care services and the people who care for them in November. The letter will provide advice on staying warm and well over the winter.
People will be encouraged to get their flu and COVID-19 jabs, and we鈥檒l provide information on how to get support with the cost-of-living. A list of organisations that can help with a variety of issues will also be included within the letter.
We think the information in the letter may be helpful to our Ukrainian guests and hosts, so we are sharing it with you.
