A series of road shows for the elderly has been held across Pembrokeshire this autumn advising people on how to keep well, safe and warm in the winter months ahead.

Staff from several organisations provided essential free information and advice at four venues across the county - including Narberth, Pembroke, Fishguard and Haverfordwest.
The roadshows, which were aimed at older people and their carers, gave 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 offered a free, new electric blanket to anyone whose old blanket failed a safety check.
Eight visitors - two from each venue - won a hamper of winter store cupboard essentials worth £50, from Health Challenge Pembrokeshire, while many others won free fleece blankets.
The initiative is part of a national campaign supported by the Welsh Assembly Government and is part of Health Challenge Wales.
