Join the Snow Patrol and help thousands of people

In the Staffordshire Moorlands alone over 6,000 people fell in bad weather last winter.

Shockingly, over 30% of the people that received hip injuries as a result died in the following 12 months, and many more become less independent or more isolated as a result.

To help reduce these appalling statistics, The  Moorlands Together Safer and Stronger Communities partnership are running the 'Snow Patrol' campaign this year, which encourages people to take onboard a few hints and tips, but also encourages people to do their bit in their community in the bad weather.
