Today we were proud to welcome the Children's Commissioner for Wales to our office.
Firstly we were joined by Lisa & Ffion, Moira & Leon and Hilary & Amy, and then a second session with our LifeWise Group for 18+.
Professor Sally Holland and Jordan introduced themselves and their roles, then we talked about "The things we need - what we need to grow up Happy, Healthy and Safe" and then "What is important to us, and what we would like to change for children in Wales"
... We were incredibly proud of the effort made by both groups in ensuring that our experiences and hopes for the future for children especially those with disabilities were considered. So many thoughtful and interesting ideas to make a positive difference. Well done everyone.
Thank you Professor Holland (Sally) for visiting us and providing our charity and families with a voice to change the future for children and young people in Wales.

It is important that Carers have the breaks and support they need to remain fit and well and to be able to do more of the things that matter to them. Welsh Government has asked Carers Trust Wales to find out from Carers what types of short breaks, respite or replacement care make the most difference to them.
Carers Trust Wales has launched an online survey 'A life alongside caring' for carers in Wales aged 16 and over: Welsh: https://survey.sogosurvey.com/r/itHmYb English: ...https://survey.sogosurvey.com/r/PJ8fH2
Closing date: Friday 3 August 2018

9 year old Sophie is from Derby. Her dream was "to meet Matilda from the stage show".
Yesterday her dream came true when Follow Your Dreams along with the Provincial Grand Charity of Derbyshire funded and arranged the tickets for Sophie and her sister to see the Matilda Musical at the Birmingham Hippodrome.
"Thank you so much for making Sophie's dream come true, she was over the moon and got to meet Matlilda, Mrs Honey and Bruce .. I can't thank you enough. You should be very proud of your charity you haven't only made Sophie's dream come true but you have given her memories she will remember forever. Thank you again."
