Heledd Fychan Canol De Cymru - South Wales Central

Following our first Cost of Living Network meeting at Saint Dyfrig's Church back in February 2022, we now return, four years later, for our last network meeting for this Senedd term.

Our speakers are:

• Dr. Steffan Evans - The Bevan Foundation
• Amanda Haydon-Hall - Trussell /  Pontypridd Foodbank
• Andrew Butcher - Trussell - Taff Ely Foodbank
• Karen Taylor / Kate Henson - Citizens Advice
• Michelle Rowson-Woods - Coalfields Regeneration Trust

We will look at:

• How poverty in the area has changed over the last four years
• What is the current situation
• Discussing ideas in order to form a manifesto to give to the new government following the elections in May.

The manifestos from Trussell, Citizens Advice, Coalfield Regeneration and the Bevan Foundation will be a good basis for the discussions.

Come and share your experience, knowledge and ideas with our speakers and help draw up a comprehensive manifesto to try and get rid of poverty in Wales.
