Are you a third sector provider?

Are you working with neurodivergent children, young people and their families in our region?

Improving support for neurodivergent children, young people and their families is a priority for our Regional Partnership Board across Cwm Taf Morgannwg. As part of this commitment, a scoping study has been commissioned to understand current provision of support services through the third sector, to identify gaps and to outline options for the future.

We would like to invite all local third sector providers of support services specifically tailored to meet the needs of neurodivergent children, young people and their families to tell us about their work.

Please complete the survey by 31st October at the latest. Thank you for your help.

Thanks again to everyone who joined us for our cost-of-living briefing last week. Thanks to our Chief Executive Dame Clare Moriarty and to our speakers Sam Freedman, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government,  Jane Corbett, Liverpool City Councillor, Mick Blakeley, Head of Operational Development at Citizens Advice Liverpool, and Heather Jessop, Chief Officer of Citizens Advice Liverpool. If you missed the session you can watch back the recording or read our blog to see what our data is telling us. We also heard Sana’s story which you can read more about.

You can take a closer look at our data dashboard, which you can also share on social media using the hashtag #CitizensAdviceData. Want to catch up on our previous events? We’ve now put all the recordings in one place.

Join us for our November cost-of-living briefing, 12.30-13.30. Clare Moriarty, our Chief Executive, and Tom MacInnes, our Data Analyst will be analysing the latest frontline data and looking at what tools are available to fix the cost-of-living crisis to stop people living on empty. Guest speakers will be announced shortly.
