aspired to. We are what we are with other people. • Creation of forums for people to express feelings. • Process of subsidiary. Local decisions made by local people. • Good evening. Microphone might have helped. Some

interesting ideas. Room was rather cold.

TABLE SHEET 2 • Help with old age services • Closure of Heulfre? • Centralise facilities

people taking over ‘facilities’ – new opportunities for others to get involved

• What’s going on around us? o What’s lacking?

would therefore be keeping them in local area • Peer mentoring sharing ideas and experiences from C.C & Vol.

expertise: finance, legal, admin • Keeping young people in the community • Joining in with community activity, groups, committees

o Understanding why it’s important



• Feeling positive • Willing volunteers with community • Funding shared fairly between all villages and towns • Look at other ways of doing thing e.g. meals on Wheels has

stopped – Hotel? – cooking groups? o C.C. to support this new process, encourage, promote

• Meals on Wheels referrals – o Venue o Money o Llangoed o Community Facebook

• Clarity on who to talk to & makes decisions • Grants & funding information • Concessions on fees such as planning application • Asset Transfer • Document including an ‘asset map’ of C.C resources –

community can use this • Community leaders – communication

• Monies where from and who gets share over area – grant transport around area by who

people are saying! Re:care of the elderly • Co-production to go to every youth club and primary school to

listen to children and young people



• How will info from this event be cascaded to the rest of the community?

• Time banking is NOT the answer o What is then? o Doing it because you want to! Not because you’re told to! o Waffling o Plus having support to do it o Zzzz………

• Are we going to look hear and listen to what children and young

people want/would like in their community? • Sharing communication • Mental health • Why build and extension when there are community centres in

the community struggling to keep open • Rural • Representation of all ages/all areas of the ward • Was evening right? Held same night as youth club. • I,I,I,I We, We, We, We

o Jargon • Can’t always get what we want. People need to take ownership.
