Pan Gwent Meeting

Posted on by

Towards the end of September we attended a Pan Gwent meeting at Able Radio in Cwmbran.  Growing Space Ambassadors gave a fantastic presentation, and People First groups held a Q&A session with various heads of services.  We talked about Housing, Transport, Relationships and how people’s lives can be improved.

We chatted with the Ambassadors of Growing space about their job roles and how we would like them to feedback to us about what they do and the progress they make.

Jim Wright gave a presentation on The Govtech Catalyst, which is the £20 million fund set up to help private sector innovators tackle public sector problems. Torfaen and Monmouth are now working on taking this forward with the help of big companies such as Apple. They are working together to develop apps that will improve daily life for people with learning disabilities.

In June, Ffion Poole, Kath Toms and Christy Taylor attended the Mental Health and Learning Disability Partnership Board Meeting in St Cadocs,  Caerleon.  We delivered a presentation on Learning Disability Awareness, and the panel showed great interest and was very enthusiastic about the project.  A copy will be sent to the director of education.

Citizens’ Panel

Posted on by

During the past two months Caerphilly People First has attended meetings of the Citizens’ Panel.  At the first meeting we provided an update about the training we have been delivering in schools.  Those attending were very impressed with our work, and said they would be happy to recommend us to schools, scouts, girl guides and youth clubs throughout Gwent.
