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.

Date: 25th February 2026 / 4th March 2026

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.
