Singer and Dancing on Ice star Cheryl Baker has teamed up with Kent Fire and Rescue Service as part of the 'Show You Care' campaign.

The camaign aims to reach those living isolated lives and who may need extra support through the winter.

It's estimated that over 40,000 people over 65 in Kent and Medway live in social isolation, and 'Show You Care' encourages people to try their utmost to help those in need, be it an older member of your family, a new mum or dad and anyone with mobility issues, eyesight problems and dementia.

You can also refer family and friends for a free 'Safe and Well Visit' from KFRS, which offers fire safety advice.

Last year alone, KFRS was called to 572 accidental fires in homes, of which more than half originated in the kitchen.

The campaign also has simple 'STEPS' for staying safe and well, which includes checking for potential 'slips; giving your smoke alarm a 'test'; avoiding overloading sockets with 'electrics'; cleaning 'pots and pans' to reduce fire risk and making sure you 'stay' for a cup of tea and a chat.

Cheryl Baker, 1981 Eurovision winner, added: “Show You Care is all about taking the time in 2018 to reach out and give something back to the people in our lives who need it the most.

"Something as simple as a half hour weekly visit can make such a difference. With the support of Kent Fire and Rescue Service we want people to know that help is at hand to keep our friends, neighbours and loved ones safe and well.”

For free fire safety advice and to see if your friend, loved one or neighbour is eligible for a Safe and Well Visit, please call KFRS on 0800 923 7000 or email.
