Yesterday, some of the brilliant young people from the Power of Voice research project took their findings to the Senedd.
Thanks to the four speakers who came and responded to the young people and their ideas for change.

🚨 BREAKING: Child poverty has hit a new record high in the UK.
These figures are a source of national shame. The rise in child poverty to 4.5 million is a direct consequence of political choices.

10000% this!! @storyvillebooks.bsky.social is an amazing independent shop in #Pontypridd and was at the heart of the wonderful @eisteddfod.cymru fringe this year.
They’ve been hit hard and because they’re a real shop, not a river-based wesbsite, they have stock that’s been damaged. Donate/Buy! 🏴

⚠️ Pontypridd has been hit by devastating floods and our wonderful independent bookshop, Storyville Books, has seen much of its stock destroyed.
If you’re able to buy a book from them, this would go such a long way to help support them rebuild in the aftermath.
