Road shows promoting assistive technology and the range of devices available to help people in their day to day lives are being held across Staffordshire.
The shows have been organised in response to residents asking for clearer information about what is available and where devices can be obtained.
Over 100 people attended one of the events held in Audley Village, North Staffordshire, where gadgets ranging from automatic pill dispensers to bath aids and jam jar openers were available for them to try.
In keeping with the theme of reablement and prevention, Staffordshire Fire Service were on hand to test electric blankets and provide risk reduction advice, along with Staffordshire trading standards, the police, and housing services giving information on community safety, avoiding rogue traders, home improvements and telecare services.
