Welsh Government-funded childcare extended to all two-year-olds in Gwynedd

Families across Gwynedd can now apply for funded childcare for all two-year-olds, as the Welsh Government accelerates delivery of the most generous childcare offer anywhere in the UK.

From 8 October, parents and carers of children aged two in Gwynedd will be eligible to apply for up to12.5 hours of Welsh Government-funded childcare per week. Under the new universal offer, funded hours will be available for use from 2nd November 2026 onwards with providers who are approved by Cyngor Gwynedd.

Gwynedd is the latest local authority to expand Welsh Government-funded childcare to all two-year-olds in their area, marking a significant milestone in the phased rollout being delivered through local authorities across Wales. The expansion will also support childcare providers across Gwynedd, helping to manage rising demand and strengthen the long-term sustainability of the sector.

A huge thank you to Canolfan Felin Fach for bringing everyone together for such a meaningful community walk from Pwllheli to Llanbedrog. The NWRC team from Penrhyn House and our new South Gwynedd crew were delighted to join you and help raise awareness of the fantastic support Felin Fach offers.

SilverCloud – FREE Online Mental Health Support. Guided self-help courses to help you feel better.

What Are SilverCloud® Programmes?

If you’re feeling stressed, anxious or low you’re not alone. Around 1 in 4 adults struggle with mental health challenges. Help is available to you.

SilverCloud by Amwell® is a free online mental health support service available through NHS Wales without a GP referral. Through SilverCloud, you can access a range of guided self-help programmes to help you manage and improve your mental health and wellbeing. There’s support for mild-to-moderate anxiety, depression, stress, sleep difficulties and more.

Each programme uses techniques based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) which works by encouraging you to challenge the way you think and behave so that you’re better equipped to deal with life’s problems.

You can sign up online and choose one of the easy-to-use, interactive online mental health and wellbeing programmes to complete over 12 weeks. Although an online self-help service, SilverCloud® programmes are backed up and supported by a team of NHS staff trained in the delivery of online mental health support. Once signed up, a ‘SilverCloud® Supporter’ will guide you through the programme, providing written feedback and advice every two weeks via online message

SilverCloud fits around your life! You can access your programme anywhere, anytime from your mobile, tablet, desktop computer or laptop.

The military inspired fitness tests came around again at The Penrhyn House Gym for Cai and Paul 🫡

These tests mean so much more than just physical ability and numbers though 🧮

It’s amazing to see the pride on peoples faces when they do way more than they thought they could ❤️

These 2 minute challenges (like all our classes) signify the importance of self confidence, teach that YOU are your only real competitor and aim to smash self doubt in to a billion pieces 💥

A massive well done to both lads! Today's effort whilst breaking through all kinds of pain barriers was impressive!

These tests are great for strengh & conditioning and simple to try at home too as they require minimal pieces of equipment…

Set a 2 minute timer and see how many you can smash out:

💢 Push Ups

💢 Sit-ups

💢 Squats

🤢 Calf Raises

💢 Tricep dips

💢 Pull Ups

Put your timer on and see how long you can hold:

💢 Dead Hang

🤢 Plank

These exercises alone are a brilliant way to kick start that exercise routine in the comfort of your own home 🏡

SMART TOOL of the Day: The five things to keep an eye on*

Today’s SMART Recovery session check in saw many of us sharing about aniversaries of events in our lives that bought up uncomfortable feelings and the usual mix of recovery tools, personal circumstance, good progress and sober/clean times 💜
We thought it appropriate to take a look at our SMART Recovery’s “The 5 things to keep an eye on” tool to use as our tool of the day 🛠️

As we welcomed new members as well as old timers we looked at the process checklist of how to gauge how our recovery is going. It is suggested we have a think about what the first 3 headings are bringing to our lives (Pause) and then see if the final 2 headings could be a reason we are feeling like we do🙏
There is a photo of the sheet attached to enable you to do this at any time in your recovery journey.
