To close accounts not being used or keep them open?

Hi All, Thanks for reading in advance...

I have recently taken out a loan and paid off a few credit cards. I had some already open (with 0 balance) and others i have just paid. 
I now have 4 accounts all with 0 balance. Im not sure whether i should close them and just leave accounts with balances on or keep them open with £0 and possibly use them one every few months to keep them active. 
I want to do whatever will help my credit score increase.

Advice or experiences would be great

thank you
