Today is #InternationalDayOfOlderPersons, and on Thursday we're talking Older People and housing. @agecymru will bring findings from their 'What Matters To You?' report, Older People’s Commissioner for Wales will talk policy and Care & Repair Cymru share accessible housing needs. ow.ly/PtyK50TzxWT


Last year Care & Repair Cymru Agencies delivered over 67,000 services to older people to help them live safely and independently at home. We prevented around 6,000 older people from going to hospital - supporting health and social care demand and keeping people confident at home 🏠




Today, we’re at Senedd Cymru - celebrating 45 years of improving homes and changing lives. Thank you John Griffiths MS for sponsoring our event. careandrepair.org.uk/45years


Fantastic to help celebrate 45 years of Care & Repair Cymru a wonderful organisation that has assisted 100s of 1000s of people across #Wales live their very best #independent lives in their own #homes. Thank you for all that you do.


A huge diolch yn fawr to John Griffiths MS for sponsoring today's event in the Senedd, celebrating 45 years of Care & Repair Cymru. Thank you for your long-standing support of the work we do to keep older people safe in their own homes🏠



🏘️Care & Repair Cymru helps older people in Wales adapt and maintain their homes for safer, independent living, supporting them to stay home longer and reduce hospital visits. The Cab Sec visited the home of a client benefiting from these services. 👉gov.wales/home-adaptatio…



Yesterday Care & Repair Cymru 's Policy Officer Hannah gave oral evidence to the Equality and Social Justice Committee committee on the impact of fuel poverty on older people in Wales, and how the Warm Homes Programme could work better to improve homes and reduce bills. Great work🌟💪



Our Older Not Colder service has been featured in local newspapers and on WalesOnline 🏴 and North Wales Live. Read more about the service and how we support over 60s in Wales to keep homes warm and energy bills down. walesonline.co.uk/special-featur… #OlderNotColder


I'm excited to say I'm joining the amazing ITV Coast & Country team! 🏴 I'll still be reporting the news but now also getting around the country more, filming with incredible people in beautiful places. I am named after an island after all, so this does feel like a good fit 😁
