🧑‍🤝‍🧑We’re funding a new project aimed at reducing the impact and severity of fuel poverty on older people.

So pleased to live in Wales where we have Older People’s Commissioner for Wales and great charities including Age Cymru Care & Repair Cymru and community connections such as Radyr & Morganstown Hub who promote intergenerational activities that benefit everyone #diversity #CommunityConnections #volunteer

The Mamwlad Project helps people over 50 in the farming community. It helps people stay living at home independently and tackles loneliness and isolation.

The project is funded by Welsh Government and delivered by Care & Repair Powys and Agecymrupowys.
