Sometimes a photograph speaks a thousand words.

Today it was a pleasure to host an exhibition in the Senedd by Newport resident Barbara Mcloughlin.

The exhibition - Lest We Forget - marks Remembrance Day with photographs taken from across Newport and South Wales.

Research by @rspcaoffficial.bsky.social shows that 66% of animals, domestic and wildlife, are negatively impacted by private fireworks displays.

Animals can be fearful of the sight and or sound of fireworks, with many pet owners dreading this time of year.

By providing funding support to local authorities, Welsh Government has boosted the range of opportunities for older people to connect.

Wales continues to lead the way in tackling ageism, having established the world’s first Older People’s Commissioner back in 2008.

With 38% of those over 65 volunteering, the highest of any age group, older adults play a vital role in our community.

Older people frequently ask for improved information about activities in their communities.
