This morning, I was pleased to have been invited to attend the launch of the Learning Disability Transformation Programme. This invite comes following my active participation in the Learning Disability Ministerial Advisory Group, at which I represented @AllWalesPF
Excited to share that I will be giving a talk to the @AvowWrexham Wellbeing Network later this week! I will be meeting new people, networking but above all speaking about all things @GigBuddiesCymru! I would like to thank Jane Edwards and Katherine Hussey for the invitation.
A very successful day meeting and giving a talk to @BetsiCadwaladr's Health Improvement Team in Wrexham! Unfortunately, I forgot to get a photo whilst I was there, so a selfie with my notes on the train back home will have to suffice. @GigBuddiesCymru @LdWales #gigbuddiescymru
Three years ago today, I became an Anglesey Representative for the North Wales Flyers at Conwy Connect! ✌️
I wouldn't have joined this or my local Self Advocacy Group let alone become a Self Advocate without help from Gerraint and the team at All Wales People First. Diolch!

"You won't come to us, so we'll come to you!"
Last year, Bring People Home from Hospital, supported by Inclusion London, held a protest demanding action to end the detention of autistic people and people with learning difficulties in hospitals.

This #VolunteersWeek we want to congratulate @GBCVictoria on receiving a @MantellGwynedd Volunteer Award for all her hard work and dedication, supporting the north Wales @GigBuddiesCymru team!
"It was an amazing and lovely surprise. I was buzzing with pride at being nominated."

It was a pleasure to have visited @MantellGwynedd recently to record this video with them, in which I explain why volunteers are essential to the work that @GigBuddiesCymru does! #VolunteersWeek
Today we hear from Victoria at Gig Buddies Cymru about how absolutely essential volunteers are to their work. 🎬 They’re eager to find more volunteers in Gwynedd, so are you looking for a chance to make a real difference? Get in touch with them today!

As a fairly regular commuter to Cardiff from North Wales, I can say that having access to free and decent WiFi onboard our trains is a must.
As we say in this article, better train WiFi is much needed and worth celebrating.
However, we will continue campaigning for rail reform to tackle more fundamental issues including affordability, cancelled trains, and poor accessibility at many stations.

Check out this fantastic news article about @GigBuddiesCymru and @FocusWales - and how we are making festivals accessible! I'm thrilled to have been quoted in this, along with a photo.
