Very pleased to showcase what we do in the South Wales Argus last week!

Marie Evans, senior wellbeing lead at Parklands and organiser of the sessions, said: "I can’t explain how this has made me feel. My hope was always to bring together those who need it most, so they could form friendships with others in similar situations."

A community singing group in Bedwas is bringing people together through a shared love of music.

Inside Out Cymru are exploring a long-term ‘Art for Wellbeing’ project for people affected by dementia (including carers, support workers, family members etc), and we want to hear from as many people as possible.

Your feedback will help shape how this project develops and ensure it supports the wellbeing of our communities.

If you can spare just 5 minutes, we’d really appreciate you sharing your thoughts.
