A post on the Octopus website reads: “We only have 10,000 blankets to give away, and need to prioritise customers who’ll benefit most: the elderly, and those with mobility issues or other medical conditions that mean they’re more impacted by the cold.
“These blankets start at around £40 and can save you £300 or more, so they’re really worth the investment.
“If you can consider buying one yourself, please do – there might be someone else out there who truly can’t afford to buy one.”
The blankets are from Dreamland or Cosi Home but they can also be purchased from providers such as Amazon, Curry’s, Argos or Dunelm.
