MANIFESTO LAUNCH: STRONG WELSH COMMUNITIES, 27 JANUARY 2021

In the first of our two launch events for the Strong Welsh Communities manifesto and campaign, we shared the manifesto and discussed how community groups can get involved in the campaign to build healthier, happier, more resilient communities in Wales. Matthew Brindley, BCT’s Policy Officer, gave an overview of the manifesto, and Meleri Davies (Partneriath Ogwen) shared her community group’s experiences of getting involved with policy decisions. Emma Shepherd (BCT’s Communication and Events Officer) then introduced the campaign around Strong Welsh Communities and invited groups to share their stories with her for positive media coverage. Ceri Cunnington and Sel Williams from Cwmni Bro Ffestiniog then shared their ideas for developing a community movement in Wales.
