It's been announced that our U16 BGC Wales Cup SF will take place next Sunday.
The team would surely appreciate any support you're able to provide & cheer the team on in what will be a tough encounter, one which our players will be up for and as they have done all season.

The experience of people with learning disabilities and/or autistic people stuck in long-stay hospital settings is arguably one of the worst scandals of our current system. Groups all over the UK have been working with @ImpAdultCare to use evidence to change policy and practice
9 May 2024
Between September 2023 to February 2024, we ran a Network with the aim of exploring the growing concern about the number of people with learning disabilities and/or autistic people in hospital for extended periods

At many companies, people spend around 80% of their time in meetings or answering colleagues’ requests, leaving little time for all the critical work they must complete on their own. s.hbr.org/3j4ZTS1
