REMINDER! This Wednesday we are holding an engagement event for those who suffer from sight loss.
Communities are the future of Public Health in Gwent and we aim to identify the barriers and challenges to improving and protect your health. The findings from the workshop will be collated with the findings from other workshops which will then be fed back at the Gwent Conference for Health and Well-being in November for health, council and third sector leaders.
MAKE A DIFFEREN...CE AND COME AND SHARE YOUR OPINION AND CONCERNS!

We would like to say a massive thank you to everybody that attended our sponsored Blindfold Bowling last night, we are extremely pleased to have raised over £1,000!
Your support is very much appreciated and valued, without important fundraising like this we wouldn’t be able to provide the services we do.
A special thank you to Michael Rappell who raised £277 in sponsorship, Cwmbran Vale Rotary Club who presented us with a £250 cheque, Chepstow ... and District Round Table for their cheque for £200, Wymans Optician for a £120 cheque and Lisa Gomer for organising.
