🚨ATTENTION! All teachers in schools and sixth forms in England and Wales.
This Government's neglect is pushing our education system to the edge. SEND is in crisis, and our kids are paying the price.
😡Let's send a message they can't ignore – VOTE for change NOW! 💪 #PayUp24

Last week 3HR @coedglas2027 enjoyed the rain. We created rangoli patterns from natural findings. ❤️
We also needed a way to clean off as much mud as possible, the only way we know how by rolling down banks.
Is there such thing as too much fun?

It is vital we retain a distinctively Welsh broadcasting sector.
The Six Nations rugby tournament must remain free to air.
And Welsh language provision must continue to grow, with support for Welsh community radio.
