Our amazing volunteers Ffion and Nat had a great afternoon on Friday at Penallta House, Caerphilly, for the launch of the Police Crime & Justice Plan 2025-2029, when they received a special thank you from the new Gwent Police Commissioner, Jane Mudd, for working with Rhian and her team to make the plan accessible and easy to read.

The top priorities for Gwent are: preventing anti-social behaviour, safer communities, protecting the vulnerable, putting victims first, and reducing reoffending.

Jane Mudd highlighted the importance of working together to make Gwent a safer, better place by bringing partners together to improve efficiency and effectiveness. It was also great to hear Ruth Jones MP supporting the plan and sharing her views on better support for victims of crime, especially those affected by domestic abuse. Chief Constable Mark Hobrough said: “This plan is not just a document—it is a roadmap for a safer and more just society.”

We will be meeting Rhian this week to add the finishing touches to the easy-read version.
