Age Connects Morgannwg (ACM) is often asked to support older people with transport and they would like to better understand the demand for this service as well as the barriers that exist to using existing transport provision.

ACM is primarily interested in learning more about the Cwm Taf Morgannwg Region (RCT, Bridgend and Merthyr Tydfil) but they are not limiting the distribution of the survey to that area and will use the ‘out of area’ findings to inform further potential research opportunities.

They are partnering with Aberystwyth University to do the research on this, and you can get involved by taking the survey and sharing it with your networks https://forms.office.com/e/KtCCxukiaX

The lead for this project is Bethan Shoemark-Spear. If you have any questions or would like to know more, please get in touch with her at Bethan.Shoemark-Spear@ACMorgannwg.org.uk

The survey is only open through February, with a follow up ‘in person’ focus group planned on 1st March at Cynon Linc, Aberdare.

If you know any older people who would like to come along to that event please let Bethan know.

Have you heard of the All Wales Dementia Care Pathway of Standards?

The Cwm Taf Morgannwg Regional Partnership Board (RPB) is soon to embark on a campaign to raise awareness of dementia care standards in Bridgend, Rhondda Cynon Taf and Merthyr Tydfil.

At the heart of this campaign are those living with dementia, their carers and professionals working with people living with dementia. That is why the RPB needs you to help shape the future of dementia care in Wales.

To begin with, they are looking to better understand the current awareness levels of the All Wales Dementia Care Pathway of Standards through the short survey below.
