We’re heading off X.
Thanks to everyone who has connected with us here over the past few years. We really hope to continue talking to you on other platforms. See you there.
This account will stay open but we’ll not be posting anything new or monitoring regularly.
ALT Image of text reading: Over the past few years, it’s been great to see the conversations, connections and challenges that this space has brought to us, and the opportunities we’ve had to reach out to people. But it’s having those conversations that has been the important thing, not the platform itself. And over the past few months, it’s becoming more difficult to make those same connections here. A number of incidents and changes fundamentally go against our values. The tone of this platform has shifted towards a place where any charity that welcomes all will find it harder to be heard. So we’re leaving – but we’re not closing any doors. You can still talk to us on a range of platforms, and you can also get news and updates from us directly to your inbox by joining our mailing list. See the link in our bio for all our social media profiles and mailing list joining link. We hope to see you there!

Wonderful to attend today's celebration event with our partners @weareplatfform and @savechildrencym at the beautiful Newport Market. The Bettws Early Learning Partnerships’ Embrace Project is an inspirational example of a community-led, trauma-informed, whole family mental health initiative.

We’re relieved to see Housing Support Grant lifted in Welsh Gov’s 25-26 draft budget. But it’s unclear how much of the new NHS funding goes to mental health, and social housing funding falls far short. Services will also feel the strain of NI rises.

As we wait for the @WelshGovernment draft budget, we're looking for hope – and our response (below) outlines what we are hoping for.
But for Senedd members also waiting, we wanted to raise particular attention to the NI changes by the UK Government. 🧵

🙋🏿In social care, housing, and homelessness, strong relationships are key. Supporting people through trauma isn’t about fixing—it’s about listening, understanding, and being there.

Thank you to Jodie & Rachel @weareplatfform and Jake @macukcharity for coming to speak at our event last night about the vital work they are doing to support people facing homelessness and mental ill-health.
We know that these issues often go hand-in-hand - that's why we fund these essential projects.

A rise in National Insurance risks charities facing insurmountable costs. For us, it would mean an extra £250k a year – difficult to afford as we work to continue supporting 13k people facing tough times.
The preventative work of charities saves money.

“I felt less alone and ashamed.”
We’re delighted to launch Seibiant Sanctuary today, alongside @CV_UHB. It's Cardiff and the Vale's first community-based alternative to A&E when someone’s facing a mental health crisis.

Today, the world can feel very divided, and like it’s easy to see the lines that we may stand either side of.
But if we’re curious about what’s beyond badges we wear and the labels we give, we may find more to
connect with.
Look for the helpers.

I spent a morning a few weeks back with the @weareplatfform team, hearing about this vital & innovative work engaging with people at their lowest to help them move forward with both their mental health & out of homelessness. Proud @SMITFCharity to be able to support it...

Mental health will always require more than just one day – it’s at the root of our lives, our communities and our world. But today is a good chance to highlight workplace wellbeing – we spend much of our time at work, so what happens there matters.

🔥Talking openly about burnout isn’t about admitting fault—it’s about protecting your team.
🙏Understanding burnout helps the way we approach and navigate these important conversations about it.
