Hello and Happy New Year! We’re excited to share the latest news on our services designed to support our community. Here’s everything you need to know…

 Every year, over £1 billion in benefits go unclaimed in Wales which is why we’ve launched our national communications campaign – ‘Claim What’s Yours’.

An invitation is being made by South Wales Police (SWP) to community organisations and charities with experience in youth mentoring programmes (including ‘lived experience’).

We have launched two new services at Citizens Advice Cardiff and Vale, specifically for Veterans, Armed Forces serving personnel, and their families. I thought it would be useful to let you know about them.

Location: Senedd Building, Cardiff Bay in the Neuadd

On 16th December, we will now hold a shorter session from 10:00–11:00am, still at the Dunraven Suite.

Wales must urgently shift towards a prevention-first approach to health to address stagnating life expectancy and mounting pressures on its health services, according to the Chief Medical Officer's Annual Report.

All secondary school pupils will be able to access new education materials designed to help increase understanding about common women’s health conditions

Since the legislation came into force on 1 December 2015, more than 2,000 organs have been donated in Wales.
