Yesterday our rep Ffion Poole attended the National Council at The Grand Hotel in Swansea, where members gave overwhelmingly positive feedback on Adfest, calling it the best one yet! Well done to everyone at All Wales People First for making it such a success!

The council also discussed important issues affecting our community, including the rising cost of living, benefit cuts, and staff shortages within social care. We also talked about the recent changes to purchasing rail tickets in Caerphilly. These changes will make it much harder for adults with learning disabilities to buy tickets independently, which is a major concern. Ensuring accessible transport options is vital for our community, and we’ll continue to advocate for better solutions. Let’s keep working together to make a difference.
