Do you want to have a better understanding of AI and how it impacts on governance and risk to your organisation?

Our colleagues at NEWID Cymru are delivering two modules which may help.

There’s a clear need for leadership-level conversations about AI. Not just about what tools exist, but how they fit into your mission, how to use them responsibly, and how to build internal confidence. Over the two modules, we’ll cover an overview of AI, practical examples, Third Sector case studies, governance, risk and responsible use. You’re welcome to attend both modules or the one most relevant to you.

Module 1 - AI for Leaders: AI for the Third Sector

When: 28th January 2026, 10 am - 1 pm

With the rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence and the speed of its development, it can be challenging for organisations to keep pace. In this module, ProMo Cymru will guide you through some practical applications of AI for your organisation and share case studies from the third sector. The module is aimed at leaders to help you understand how AI can support your work.

Module 2 - AI for Leaders: Policy, Governance and Strategy

When: 4th February 2026, 10 am - 1 pm

In this module, ProMo Cymru will explore the challenges and opportunities of embedding Artificial Intelligence across your organisation.

Cwm Taf Morgannwg Public Health Team welcomes you to join us at one of our two events to understand how together, we can tackle the harms caused by tobacco and vapes in CTM.

Smoking rates are declining and yet it remains the biggest cause of preventable ill health and death in Wales. Smoking is highly addictive, it hooks people from an early age and quitting is tough. It also impacts financially, costing on average £2,500 per year, a significant portion of household income.

Join us to find out more about what we’re doing across the health board, and how you can help including: 

• Why tackling smoking is vital for a safer, healthier, and wealthier workforce and community.
• What we can do together to help our young people to live vape and smoke-free.
• The link between smoking, mental health and how we can work together to support people to quit.
• How you can support the CTM-wide campaign to raise awareness of Help Me Quit.

Every year, over £1 billion in benefits go unclaimed in Wales which is why Welsh Government has launched its national communications campaign – ‘Claim What’s Yours’.

Through this campaign they want people across Wales to claim what’s theirs to help with living costs, even if they already claim benefits.

The Older People’s Commissioner for Wales is looking at how social care in Wales could be improved and wants to hear from older people across Wales about their experiences of receiving help and support from social care services, to learn more about what’s working well and where changes are needed.

The Commissioner will use the evidence shared by older people to consider whether the quality of the social care support people are receiving in Wales reflects the standards set out in policy and legislation, which appears not always to be the case based on the issues and concerns raised by older people.

She will publish a report in 2026 that sets out her findings, together with recommendations for action to address any issues she identifies.

We want to reach out as widely as possible, to capture the voices and experiences of older people from a wide range of backgrounds and communities, and we hope you can support this by sharing information about the Commissioner’s survey via your communications channels and encouraging people to respond.

To capture older people’s experiences of receiving social care services, the Commissioner has developed a multiple choice survey.

The survey can be completed online here:

www.olderpeople.wales/socialcare

Paper copies of the survey are also available if you’d like to share these with older people you work with or support. If you’d like us to send you any paper copies, please call us on 03442 640 670 or email ask@olderpeople.wales.

Completed surveys can be returned to the Commissioner’s office via Freepost.

Older people can also complete the survey over the phone with a member of the Commissioner’s team by calling 03442 640 670.
