🙌🏼 A huge thank you to all the care providers who joined us yesterday for our North Wales Collaboration Day!

It was a fantastic event with insightful presentations, great conversations, and a lovely venue that made the day even more special.

We are also incredibly grateful to our kind sponsors Harlech Foodservice Ltd for their generous support. The trade show was wonderful and added so much value to the day.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make it such a success! 👏

🌼 Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant Hapus / Happy St David’s Day🌼

We would like to wish all our members a very Happy St David’s Day!

Established in 1993, Care Forum Wales celebrates its 33rd anniversary on this special day. We have come a long way since the beginning of our journey, something that would not have been possible without the continued support of our members.

THANK YOU!

We have achieved so much together, but there is still important work ahead as social care faces significant challenges in the coming years.

Thanks to the dedication shown across Wales to keep the most vulnerable people safe, Care Forum Wales remains committed to working alongside and supporting our members. We look forward to continuing this work with you throughout the year.

Best wishes from all the team at Care Forum Wales!

🌟 Good News from Care Forum Wales 🌟

We are absolutely delighted to share some wonderful news!

Following an invitation from Their Majesties, The King and Queen, three of our Wales Care Awards 2025 finalists, Carol Dight, Taurai Zimbi and Shiny Skaria, attended a special reception at Windsor Castle on Wednesday 11th February. They were proudly accompanied by Mario Kreft, Chair of Care Forum Wales.

The reception was held to shine a light on carers and to celebrate the incredible work being carried out across the caring professions, including foster carers, young carers, NHS professionals, and unpaid carers supporting loved ones within families and communities.

Everyone had the most amazing evening and described feeling truly humbled by the experience. It was an honour for them to be invited.

As you can see from these photos, they even had the opportunity to enjoy a conversation with His Majesty The King, a moment they will never forget! 👑

We are so proud to see the dedication and compassion of the social care sector recognised. 💜

🌟 Positive News from Our Members: St David's Residential Home🌟

St Davids Residential Home is celebrating a fantastic achievement following their most recent inspection in November 2025, where they were officially recognised as meeting the Welsh Active Offer.

The Welsh Active Offer ensures that people receiving care and support in Wales can communicate and receive services in Welsh without needing to ask, and that the Welsh language is treated no less favourably than English.

This success reflects the hard work and ongoing commitment of the entire team, with special recognition to their Commercial Director, Sian, whose passion and determination has driven this work forward.

As part of their approach:
• All new recruits receive basic Welsh language awareness and training
• Staff are provided with a handbook of useful Welsh phrases
• Welsh language boards are in place to guide and support staff
• Accessible information is available to help people engage in Welsh whenever they wish

By actively promoting and supporting the Welsh language, St Davids Residential Home is helping to normalise its use, celebrate Welsh culture, and ensure that Welsh‑speaking individuals feel confident, respected, and included.

They are incredibly proud of this progress and the inclusive, person‑centred culture it represents. This is a wonderful example of the positive work taking place across the sector.

Da iawn!
