AnnotationOperation Snow Angel was a collaborative project recruiting volunteers to support older and vulnerable people during extreme cold weather. The support offered was in the nature of being a pair of "helping hands" or a good neighbour, to complement services during periods of high demand. The campaign was in the form of a pilot aimed to develop a working model which could be used in the future. This article outlines the development of the Operation Snow Angel Partnership's campaign in the Northwich, Cheshire area, which ran from January to March 2012 and aimed to reduce social isolation and increase access to preventative services.
