Age Cymru Dyfed Celebrates Veterans at Armed Forces Festival

Age Cymru Dyfed’s Veterans Team recently joined more than 40 organisations at the Neath Port Talbot Armed Forces Festival, held at Aberafan Shopping Centre.

The event brought the community together for a day of remembrance, celebration and entertainment, recognising the contribution of our Armed Forces and the importance of supporting the veteran community.

Our Veterans Team was delighted to take part, showcasing two of our projects: Building Stronger Futures for Older Veterans and our National Service heritage project.

The team displayed information about the projects and had the opportunity to chat with shoppers, share more about our work and raise awareness of the support available to older veterans.

There was a great deal of interest in our banners, with visitors keen to find out more about what we do and how Age Cymru Dyfed supports people who have served in the Armed Forces.

Events like this are a valuable opportunity to connect with local communities, celebrate veterans' contributions and help ensure older veterans know where to turn for support.
