Cardiff Met University are looking for help for their developing Activity Finder Beta

What is it?

The Activity Finder is a free online tool that helps people find local activities to support wellbeing, connection and being active.

Who is it for?

It is for residents, link workers, practitioners and community organisations. Providers can use it to share information about their sessions so people can find and access them more easily.

When is the beta phase?

The beta phase is happening over the coming weeks (27th April to the 8th May). This is a testing period where we gather feedback to improve how the system looks, works and feels before a wider launch.

How hard is it to use?

The system is designed to be simple and user-friendly. You do not need technical skills, and support materials will (eventually) be shared to guide you step by step.

Giving Your Feedback

Your feedback is a vital part of this phase. The survey link included with the beta test link will ask about things like:

· How easy the site is to use.

· Design and layout.

· Filters and accessibility.

· How clear and useful the activity information feels.

Give your feedback on the document attached by completing this short survey.

Have Your Say on Women's Health in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan.

Llais is the national, independent body set up by Welsh Government to give people of Wales a stronger voice in their health and social care services.

We often receive feedback from individuals around access and care around women's health.

The most important insights come from those with lived experience, and we want to hear directly from you so we can advocate for change.

There will be a short talk from Llais. This is followed by activities where you can share your views in a safe, supportive space, on any health topics you wish to discuss.

Topics include:

* Pregnancy & Birth

* Gynaecology

* Menopause

* Pain & pain management

* Preventative Care

* Cancer

After the event, feedback will be collected and shared anonymously with services, who are required to respond to the feedback that is shared.

If you or someone you know, has experience in accessing women's health and wants to help improve it, we'd love to see you there. If you can't attend, you can still share your views with us directly.

Telephone: 02920750112

Email: Cardiffandvaleenquiries@llaiscymru.org

We hope you'll join us and help shape better care for women.

Happy to discuss in or out of main meeting.

Please, this is not me having a go at anybody. To attract more people to our group we need to make them accessible to all. Sylvia

Empowering communities across Wales to save energy and stay warm.

The project works with local people to develop their knowledge and confidence through our Energy Champions workshop initiative. Energy Champions are given practical energy saving advice and support to pass on this information to friends, relatives and neighbours.

Through Warm Together Cymru, NEA also delivers local energy advice events, providing tailored information and support directly to those most at risk of fuel poverty. In addition, households can benefit from Winter Warmth Support Packs, which include energy-saving tools such as LED lightbulbs, radiator reflectors and draught excluders.

The project also offers access to a small hardship fund to assist those facing immediate challenges with fuel costs, food bills or warm clothing.

If you would like to learn more — or become an Energy Champion — please get in touch: energychampions@nea.org.uk

VOICES ADFOCAD are proud to announce Care in Conversation, a new project that will be run by VOICES ADFOCAD and funded by the National Lottery Community Fund, Wales over the next two years.

The aim of the project is to decrease isolation amongst carers, increase awareness, recognition and networking between carers and stakeholders to "normalise the conversation" about the rights, responsibilities and the significant role and contribution to society. Unpaid carers, kinship carers and special guardians in the identified localities will access a program of hybrid workshops that recognise their caring responsibilities by replacing some of the costs incurred to actively participate and share their views, experiences and aspirations towards a more inclusive and co-produced framework that better supports carers in Wales. The project will deliver a series of workshops and networking opportunities across 2 years, which will significantly contribute towards the annual assembly in Cardiff run by, for and with carers and invites stakeholders to discuss, plan and action better practice and support for carers. The annual assembly is now in its third year and has proven to be a successful vehicle for positive change and open discussion. We have excellent connections and working relationships with carer support organisations, strategic operators and a robust and growing membership of carers across Wales and have chosen to focus on the localities identified due to our ongoing work in these areas of high deprivation and need. We will learn and shape future projects by recording, documenting, analysing and reporting on the voices of carers to enable transparent and fluid communication between those voices and decision makers. We will ensure that our opportunities are well advertised, accessible and co-produced and share our findings at all levels to raise awareness of informal care and its value to society. Our methodology has been successfully tried and tested across the last couple of years and we have learnt that the value of hybrid sessions is very much needed within the informal care sector and that carers need support to engage fully.

Full details of the project will be announced soon.

National Energy Action's Warm Homes, Healthy Futures is a nationally coordinated network of locally delivered services that will tackle fuel poverty and improve health for tens of thousands of people across Great Britain. The programme will enable effective partnership working between health, energy and housing in various local areas.

Support delivered on prescription

More than 20 Warm Homes, Healthy Futures areas have been identified so far. These areas will see National Energy Action deliver support 'on prescription' by working with key partners in health and housing, alongside established and trusted local delivery agencies to reach people with health conditions, living in or at risk of fuel poverty.

The programme will deliver:

It will also involve frontline worker training, community engagement and awareness raising around key issues such as energy affordability, energy efficiency and carbon monoxide safety.

Partnerships, insights and best practice

In establishing the network of Warm Homes, Healthy Futures services, National Energy Action and partners will work to support local health and housing bodies to harness critical insights and evidence the positive impact that fuel poverty services have.

These insights will highlight best practice in delivery, the benefits to health, as well as the lived experience of support. The programme will enable effective partnership working between health, energy and housing, working collaboratively at area-based levels to tackle health inequalities and fuel poverty as part of a shared agenda.

Warm Homes, Healthy Futures will run until March 2026 and is funded by the Vulnerability and Carbon Monoxide Allowance Fund. The programme is supported by the gas networks, Cadent, Northern Gas Networks, SGN, and Wales and West Utilities.

If you would like to learn more or are interested in getting involved, please contact Danielle Butler, Project Development Manager at danielle.butler@nea.org.uk.

Public Health Wales - Information for Carers and the People they Support

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Carers and care providers play an essential role in making sure that the people they care for feel supported to access screening when invited.

The information on this page will help you if you are:

someone who has been invited for screening and needs support

an unpaid carer

a care worker, or

a health professional.

If you are an unpaid carer who provides support to someone, it is equally important that you look after your own health.
We understand that you may not see yourself as a carer.

The Carers Wales ' State of Caring Survey, 2022 ' showed that half of all carers took over a year to recognise their caring role, with over a third taking more than three years to recognise themselves as a carer.

If you are a friend or family member who provides support to someone, you may find the information on this page helpful.

The Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act (2014) defines an unpaid carer as:

'Someone who provides unpaid care to an adult or disabled child. The cared for person may be a family member or a friend, who due to illness, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction cannot cope without their support. A carer could be a husband caring for his wife, a parent caring for their child who has care and support needs or a child caring for their parent.'

Taking part in screening

To make a decision about taking part in screening, a person must have:

access to clear and accurate information, in a format that suits their needs

support (if they need it) to understand the information

time to consider the information, and

further support (if they need it) to help them make a decision.

For more information about screening in Wales, visit Public Health Wales Screening.
