Keep well this winter

Keep well this winter logoOver 200 people enjoyed an afternoon tea dance to launch this year’s ‘Keep Well This Winter’ campaign for over 60s living in Torfaen. The fun filled event had three serious messages for older people.

• Keep well
• Keep safe
• Keep warm

The dancers were reminded to have the flu jab and get advice from Gwent Police, South Wales Fire and Rescue, Trading Standards, The Pensions Service, the Home Energy Efficiency Scheme, and the Older Persons Forum.

 

The ‘Fab 40s’ live band encouraged everyone onto the dance floor. More entertainment was provided by the Suzanne Sims Dance Group and Pontnewydd Male Choir.
