A series of road shows for the elderly will be held across Pembrokeshire this Autumn advising people on how to keep well, safe and warm in the winter months ahead.
Staff from several organisations will provide essential free information and advice at four venues across the county - including Narberth, Pembroke, Fishguard and Haverfordwest.
The road shows, which are aimed at older people and their carers, will give specific information on: help with home insulation, heating and fuel costs; a healthy, balanced diet on a budget; easy meals from the store cupboard; home fire safety; securing your home; Corgi carbon monoxide awareness; falls awareness; flu vaccinations; benefit payments; digital television.
In addition, the Electrical Safety Council is offering a free, new electric blanket to anyone whose old blanket fails a safety check.
Those attending will also have the chance to win a hamper of winter store cupboard essentials, worth £50, from Health Challenge Pembrokeshire and free fleece blankets.
The initiative is part of a national campaign supported by the Welsh Assembly Government and is part of Health Challenge Wales.
The roadshows will be held at the following locations between 10 am and 4 pm: Monday, October 13 - Queens Hall, Narberth; Thursday, October 16 -Pembroke Town Hall; Wednesday, October 22 - Fishguard Town Hall; Saturday, October 25 - Picton Centre, Haverfordwest.
