Life changing support for older people across Gwent these last three months, whilst also easing the pressure on health and social care statutory services.

Ill never forget my friends and colleagues who lost their lives supporting Welsh communities 💚
As people around the UK today come together to honour and remember those affected by the #pandemic since it began five years ago, we thank you all for your support and your stories over these past five unprecedented years. #CovidDayOfReflection

Charities are already struggling with increasing costs and increasing demands on services. The planned rise to Employer National Insurance contributions will make things very hard to weather.

Delighted to announce the commencement of our new @AgeCymruGwent Digital Inclusion project. It’s so important that older people aren’t disadvantaged by ever changing technological requirements. https://t.co/BEWSQQO0gV

Happy International Paramedics day! Where would we be without these everyday heroes? Personally, a day to reflect on the incredible paramedics I’ve known, including my friend Gerallt, we ask so much of these people, all power to them as they continue their lifesaving work

Time moves on, but you never forget, that brutal year of 2020 didn’t discriminate. Rich left a wonderful legacy though, he was instrumental in developing the @SJACymru community falls service that operates throughout Wales, supporting older people, changing and saving lives. X

64% of those who care, or previously provided care, said they had ‘no choice’ in taking on the role because no other options were available. Today we launch our 'No choice but to care' report, covering the impact of caring on unpaid carers. https://t.co/mTarhl7lnc

Great to meet @CEOStJAC today and discuss ways in which the two charities can work together. Combining our joint expertise in health and social care to provide much needed holistic support to Welsh Communities and furthering independent living. #partnership #care
