I’m pleased to say June saw @AgeCymruGwent reach the figure of 22,000 people supported throughout @AneurinBevanUHB area in the first six months of 2024.
Huge thanks to all the incredible staff and volunteers involved.

Thanks to @caerphillyrugby u15s for coming up on Saturday to play our u15s. An early start didn’t prevent them taking the win in a competitive match then staying on after to support our 1st XV v Barnes. Da iawn boys 👍
Life changing support for older people across Gwent these last three months, whilst also easing the pressure on health and social care statutory services.
Ill never forget my friends and colleagues who lost their lives supporting Welsh communities 💚
As people around the UK today come together to honour and remember those affected by the #pandemic since it began five years ago, we thank you all for your support and your stories over these past five unprecedented years.

Charities are already struggling with increasing costs and increasing demands on services.
The planned rise to Employer National Insurance contributions will make things very hard to weather.

Our superb @AgeCymruGwent “Robins” volunteers increased engagement with older people yet again in August. The latest statistics show that an amazing 2,841 older people were supported throughout @AneurinBevanUHB hospitals. Huge thanks to all involved for giving up your time.
A wonderful message to receive as we head into the weekend.

Delighted to announce the commencement of our new @AgeCymruGwent Digital Inclusion project.
It’s so important that older people aren’t disadvantaged by ever changing technological requirements.

Proud to be at the fantastic @SJACymru “celebration of volunteering” yesterday.
Wonderful to share with His Royal Highness The Duke of Gloucester how the incredible @AgeCymruGwent “ Red Robins” volunteers support older throughout the hospitals of @AneurinBevanUHB.
Happy International Paramedics day!
Where would we be without these everyday heroes? Personally, a day to reflect on the incredible paramedics I’ve known, including my friend Gerallt, we ask so much of these people, all power to them as they continue their lifesaving work
Time moves on, but you never forget, that brutal year of 2020 didn’t discriminate.
Rich left a wonderful legacy though, he was instrumental in developing the @SJACymru community falls service that operates throughout Wales, supporting older people, changing and saving lives. X

64% of those who care, or previously provided care, said they had ‘no choice’ in taking on the role because no other options were available.
Today we launch our 'No choice but to care' report, covering the impact of caring on unpaid carers. go.carersuk.org/CW24report
