Love taking photos? Want to help vulnerable older people this winter? Then why not combine the two and be in with the chance of winning a fantastic digital camera!

To enter our competition, just send us your photos showing older people’s experiences in wintertime – for example, celebrating Christmas with family, wrapped up against the cold, or enjoying a hot brew.

Your great shots might also appear in our Campaigns Newsletter, or even on our website.

Spread a little warmth and win

We run campaigns throughout the year on a whole variety of topics and it’s really important to us to keep them real.

This year, our Spread the Warmth campaign will highlight the risks that cold weather poses to older people’s health, with the aim of reducing the thousands of people who become ill, and in worse cases die, from preventable causes each winter.

We’d love to see your photographs showing people in later life during the colder months. Be as creative as you want! Your shots could include things like someone out and about in bad weather, drinking a warm mug of tea or wearing a woolly hat and scarf.

We’ll enter any photos we receive into our competition and the photographer who submits the Campaigns team’s favourite picture will win a Canon Power Shot SX220 HS digital camera and a memory card.
