Pembrokeshire's first Life Hub has opened.

The Pembrokeshire County Council initiative based at the authority-run library in Pembroke Dock, aims to bring together health and well-being information to help local residents make informed choices about their health.

Funding from the Welsh Government has enabled two areas of the library in Water Street to be refurbished. 

The first area has informal seating equipped with books, DVDs, leaflets and magazines, together with a personal computer dedicated to providing information on health.

The second area is a small, private wheelchair accessible consultation room which includes comfortable seating and tea-making facilities.

The Life Hub is free for members of the public, local community groups and charities to use.

The facility was opened on Wednesday (February 25) by Professor Sir Mansel Aylward, chairman of Public Health Wales and director of the Centre for Psychosocial and Disability Research.

Welcoming guests to the launch, county council vice-chairman, Clr. Wynne Evans, said he had no doubt the Life Hub would become a much used and valued facility.
