Democracy & Voting Workshop

A big THANK YOU to Gerraint and Simon from Learning Disability Wales for delivering a fantastic workshop yesterday! ๐Ÿ™Œ With the Senedd elections coming up on May 7th 2026, it was the perfect time to learn all about democracy and voting. We had great fun using the pop-up voting station ๐Ÿ—ณ

๐Ÿ‘‰ Different ways to vote:
In person at a polling station ๐Ÿซ
By post ๐Ÿ“ฎ
By proxy (someone you trust votes for you) ๐Ÿ‘ฅ

๐Ÿ‘‰ How to register to vote:
You can register online ๐ŸŒ
You need your details (like National Insurance number)
Make sure you register before the deadline โฐ

๐Ÿ‘‰ How to find your constituency in Caerphilly borough:
Visit the UK Government website ๐Ÿ”
Enter your postcode ๐Ÿ“
It tells you where you vote and who represents you

We also got creative making our democracy paper chain โ›“๏ธ๐Ÿ’กWe shared ideas about what we want to see changed and improved in our communities! Why voting is important:

It gives you a voice ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ
It helps shape your future ๐ŸŒ
Everyoneโ€™s vote matters โค๏ธ

Our members really enjoyed this fun and informative session ๐Ÿ˜„ We learned so much and had a great time together! ๐Ÿ‘ Thanks again to Gerraint and Simon for making it so engaging!
