Age Cymru and its key partners have launched their fourth annual survey to understand the views and current experiences of people aged 50 or over across Wales.
More than 3,800 people have responded to this annual research since the first survey was launched in 2020, and the information gathered has provided us with vital insight into what matters to older people, informed and influenced Welsh Government, and shaped policy and campaigning through the organisations involved.
From health to employment, finances to social care, we want to hear what matters to you.
How to complete our survey:
The deadline for completed surveys is Friday 28 April 2023
If you’d like to help us campaign on any of the issues raised in this survey, please let us know.
We’re always looking to work directly with people aged 50 or over in Wales to raise issues with the media, politicians, and many other key stakeholders.
Contact Michael Phillips for an informal chat on 07794 366 224, 029 2043 1555 or email michael.phillips@agecymru.org.uk
The Welsh Government is asking children and young people, families and community members, and organisations that support and speak out for children in poverty to help us make decisions about what we should do to tackle child poverty.
This engagement work is the start of work to decide what we will include in a draft Child Poverty Strategy for Wales. This will then be shared as a 12-week formal consultation exercise.
This evidence has helped us to start to think about what we need to talk to people about. A strategy explains what we plan to do, why we plan to do it and how we will know if we are achieving what we want to achieve.
We need your help to decide what to include in a formal consultation on a new Child Poverty Strategy for Wales
