EXCITING JOB OPPORTUNITIES!
Our Pembrokeshire-wide partnership project Together for Change project is now recruiting for two posts. Funded by the National Lottery COVID-19 Response Fund Wales, the project was founded by Solva Care with partner organisations Pavs Pembs and PLANED. We are now looking for a full time Project Coordinator and Project Officer to take the project forward.
The COVID-19 pandemic and its implications for society has revealed the importance of community level organisations at a critical time, with communities responding dynamically and compassionately to the challenges they faced. Together for Change will bring together third and public sector organisations to establish a positive legacy from the experiences of COVID-19 and build on the important contribution of community-led action to the health and wellbeing of people in Pembrokeshire.
Find out more about these exciting opportunities on www.solvacare.co.uk/tfc/ - closing date 15 September - and please share! #NewJob #job #career #SocialCare #JobSearch #Pembrokeshire #Solva

Lovely article in the Western Telegraph on our mice trail.

A BOATLOAD of mice has landed in Solva, providing a fun free trail around the village for locals and visitors to take part in.West Wales Walking for Wellbeing
West Wales Walking for Wellbeing, who started arranging walks in Solva just before the lock-down, has now had the green light to start working towards starting up again. They will be different from before with smaller groups with one leader and one back marker. The route will be in upper Solva, which hopefully will be quieter than lower Solva and allowing us to more easily keep to social distancing. Their representative Sam Evans is hoping to come this week to check out potential routes.
Attached is a poster for walk leader training which some of you may be interested in. The idea is that anyone interested will complete it before the walks restart or in the near future so volunteers can take groups as well. There will also be a booking system and eventually an online registration that’s being worked on at the moment. This will all be covered in the training for volunteers.
Contact Lena on 07805 717556 if the is something you would consider or you can contact Sam directly on 07796526166.
Age Cymru's Lockdown Survey
The survey's purpose if to ensure that older people are engaged as to their views on their experience of the last 4 months and aspirations for recovery from the pandemic. This has been an unprecedented period for older people (not ending yet) and it is important their voice is heard now and over the coming year when there are likely to be many economic and social difficulties emerging. The survey can be downloaded or completed online at www.ageuk.org.uk/cymru/get-involved/covid-19-survey/experiences-of-people-aged-50-or-over-in-wale...
What is Solva Care?
