On Monday 19 January 2026 Age Cymru Dyfed invited Ann Davies - Caerfyrddin (MP for Caerfyrddin) to Military Veterans Club Cymru (MVCC)’ weekly breakfast, to show the results possible when statutory bodies, third sector agencies, and others follow ‘Identify, Record and Assist’ - a plan contained in our free Building Stronger Futures for Older Veterans eLearning course.

During the course creation phase, MVCC graciously allowed us to interview several of their veterans. As this took place a year ago, the team thought issuing a ‘thank you for helping’ certificate would be a welcomed gesture. Ann was pleased to present the certificates.
We were also joined by members of the Fantom Factory (our digital course creation partners) including Steve and Emma Enyon the company’s owners, We were also joined by Hayley Edwards, Armed Forces Liaison Officer for Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire, and Ceredigion, as well as Cllr Phillip Hughes Armed Forces Champion Carmarthenshire County Council, Cllr Dai Jenkins Cwmaman Armed Forces Champion, and members of the MVCC.

The members present were delighted to be serenaded by members of the Ysgol y Bedol choir with several uplifting songs sung in Welsh.
