Diolch, thanks to @helloamandad.bsky.social and Will for the invite to visit their excellent, exciting initiative. Look forward to exploring opportunities.
Diolch David. Great to meet with you & looking forward to continuing our conversations.
I was born to a 20min neighbourhood. My π΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ town had a library, hospital, surgery, police & fire station, schools, banks. Green groceries, butchers, abattoir, sweet shop, cafes, pubs, cinema, theatre, toy shop, iron mongers, milkman, deposit return, all locally owned. Then out of town retail came. End
Tonight I'm doing a presentation with Will Beasley, Consultant Surgeon at Morriston Hospital & fellow co director at Cae Felin, located at Morriston Hospital.
We're chatting to Mumbles Community Council about the wider benefits to health & wellbeing, green spaces brings.

"Belonging isnβt just a connection to other peopleβ¦the experience of belonging is about connectedness through community, as well as rootedness in a place, a feeling of ownership in shared outcomes, and a sense of mission with others.β

A great example of foundational economy.
Today Cae Felin CSA welcomed the Chair of SBUHB Jan Williams to plant a tree π³
The tree symbolises our shared commitment & goals around sustainability, the environment & community growth. π±
It special day as it was her also her birthday & of course we had cakes to celebrate π π
Yes it was & probably not what we were expecting. I didnβt like all the rap music. Youβve seen it before so know what to expect. Iβm sure youβll love it as it was us as opposed to the acting & performance.
We went yesterday & were disappointed but think from those around us we were in the minority. Have a great time.
Birthday celebrations continuing this weekend with friends in London. This evening watched the quite brilliant #SteveCoogan in #DrStrangelove. He and the cast were magnificent β¨οΈ
A day of celebrations with the birthday boy ππ·
Thank you BEYOND Conference for the opportunity share the Well-being of Future Generations Act with delegates.
The importance of cultural wellbeing within the statutory definition of sustainable development is a powerful reminder that culture is not decorative but deeply structural.
This week #CaeFelinCSA #SwanseaBayNHS welcomed Clase Primary School. π±
They learnt about food and had great fun planting out garlic, onions, shallots & lettuce π
