Find out how Connecting Carmarthenshire did in 2024-5 in their year-end report!

Over the past year, Connecting Carmarthenshire project has continued to grow and evolve, strengthening its presence and visibility throughout the county. Our focus has remained on reaching the most rural communities, ensuring that individuals in these areas have access to vital support, services, and social opportunities. By maintaining and expanding our efforts, we have successfully engaged with new groups and individuals, fostering a deeper sense of connection and community resilience.

In the latter part of the year, we placed emphasis on community events, with our Age Cymru on Tour roadshows specifically targeting Gwendraeth - one of the most challenging areas to reach. These events enabled us to connect with residents who might otherwise remain isolated and encouraged more individuals to feel confident in accessing the support available to them. 

A key priority this year has been collaborative working with external partners and our clients. Through strategic community outreach, we have worked alongside charities, public services, and partner organisations to enhance the support available to residents. These strengthened relationships have extended our reach, enabling greater access to essential services and resources for a wider cross-section of our community. This approach has not only broadened impact but also reinforced a cohesive, effective support network for those who need it most.
