Three short easy to understand animated films that show ways of keeping warm, saving energy, saving money and combating climate change. The films have been made for people with learning disabilities who are tenants, who live in sheltered housing, who already own a home of their own, or those about to start living independently. The DVD also comes with an accompanying poster, and can also be used for training purposes. Produced in consultation with CHANGE and Mencap.

This DVD asks viewers to consider their physical health, mental health and aspects of their life style that contribute in good or bad ways to both of these. It advocates regular physical health checks and the creation of a personal health action plan as part of a personalised and joined up service. It also describes the role of 'health facilitators', who can be friends, relatives or another trusted individual, to act as a broker between health services and a person with learning disabilities. These services are explicitly connected to the UK government's Valuing People plan to improve the lives of people with learning disabilities, their families and carers.
