Heledd Fychan Canol De Cymru - South Wales Central

A big thank you to everyone who came to today’s Cost of Living network event at Cynon Linc. We talked about in-work poverty, as well as other important issues like fuel poverty, debt, child poverty and how the rise in national insurance is affecting the third sector and charities.

Special thanks to our speakers:

AJ from RCT Trade Union Council
Mairead from the National Education Union
Kate from Citizens Advice Rhondda Cynon Taf
Maisey from National Energy Action

I know times are getting tougher for many, with more people relying on food banks and now needing fuel banks. We need action from all levels of government to fix this crisis. Local services are being cut, and once they're gone, they rarely come back. I will keep working with the network until we see the changes we need.
