Ten community pubs in Wales, including one in Newport, collected more than 1,000 advent calendars to donate to people experiencing hardship so they can enjoy the countdown to Christmas.
The pubs are part of Proper Pubs, the community wet-led division of Admiral Taverns.
Across its estate the group, which includes the Maindee Hotel, Newport, collected more than 16,000 Advent calendars.
Mark Brooke, managing director at Proper Pubs, said: “While Christmas is a wonderful time of year, we understand for many that it can be incredibly challenging.
"This year, in the spirit of Christmas, we wanted to give a little bit back to those that may be struggling so that everyone has a something to enjoy on the countdown to the big day."
