"A global pandemic requires a global response"
Heledd Fychan MS, Plaid Cymru’s spokesperson for International Affairs, talks about the People’s Vaccine and its role in the global fight against COVID-19.

COP26 - Cities, Regions and the Built Environment Day
On 11 November, I attended COP26 in Glasgow where the focus was on Cities, Regions and the Built Environment.
The sessions I attended had a lot of great ideas regarding flood prevention and management, with communities taking a lead supported by Governments rather than left out of decision making. I also attended an interesting session about how music and the arts can help inspire people to take action in response to the climate emergency.

Today (4th November 2021), I had the pleasure of visiting the Ynysybwl Regeneration Project.
It was fantastic to hear from both staff and volunteers about all the different initiatives, and the positive impact the project is having on people of all ages.
During the visit, I was taken on a tour accompanied by some of the YRP team and chatted with many of the inspirational community leaders there from various groups. We met at the office in Windsor Place then I was taken on a tour to the Lady Windsor trail, part of the Cribbin Ddu walk developed by the paths and trails vision group.
