🌿 Rewild for the Over 50s – Free Nature Wellbeing Sessions 🌿

Are you a member of the Bay Cluster GP Surgeries? If so, we invite you to join one or both of our upcoming Rewild for the Over 50s sessions—designed to support wellbeing through nature, evidence-based psychology, and creative exploration.

📅 Dates & Times:
🗓 Friday 21st March – Grounding with Nature
🗓 Friday 28th March – Growth with Nature
⏰ 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
📍 The Temple, Park Mill (with time spent outdoors in the stunning landscapes of Park Mill and Three Cliffs Bay)

These sessions offer a unique opportunity to reconnect with nature, explore personal wellbeing, and develop practical tools to support emotional resilience.

🌱 Session 1: Grounding with Nature (21st March)
• Explore emotional regulation techniques through nature
• Learn mindfulness photography and nature-based art skills
• Identify local flora and fauna to deepen your connection with the environment
• Engage in evidence-based psychology to explore how nature can support calm, stability, and presence

🌿 Session 2: Growth with Nature (28th March)
• Explore the science behind manifestation—how we can work with psychological principles to move towards what we want for ourselves
• Learn how themes of growth and new beginnings in nature can support our own journey
• Use mindfulness, photography, and nature-based skills to deepen our engagement with nature in a meaningful way
• Develop knowledge and techniques that support internal confidence and motivation for moving forward

Attend one or both sessions—it’s up to you! Each session stands alone, but together they offer a powerful two-part journey into nature-based wellbeing and personal growth.

💚 Limited spaces available! To book your place or find out more, contact Mara on:

We look forward to welcoming you to this inspiring and supportive experience in nature! 🌾

We want to be the best at understanding and responding to our community’s needs. To do this we need the very best candidates from a wide range of backgrounds to become part of our policing family.

A career in policing demands skill, compassion, leadership, initiative, and a genuine desire to make a difference to society. It’s a job where no two days are the same – and it offers a fulfilling and exciting career.🙌

The majority of vacancies are based in the Cardiff area. Please take this into consideration when applying.

The incredible James Myles Thomas visited us yesterday with the amazing Derek to deliver a £750 donation!! James raised this money by swimming and cycling the distance between London to Paris - that's an incredible 1408 lengths in the pool and 247 miles on the bike.

When we add that to the money our wonderful supporters have given to support James via Justgiving, this adds up to a whopping £1002🤩🥳 for BikeAbility Wales. All of these amazingly generous donations will help our clients, including disabled children & adults & many more who would otherwise be excluded, to enjoy the pleasures and health benefits of cycling. We couldn’t do what we do without you – and especially without people like our hero James.

If you haven’t donated yet to show James how awesome he is, the link is in the comments below.

🚶‍♀️ 🚲 🚌 🚆 🚗 Your views are now wanted on an exciting new vision for a more reliable, connected and accessible transport network in South West Wales.

The draft regional transport plan – which covers Carmarthenshire, Neath Port Talbot, Pembrokeshire and Swansea – is also looking to ensure transport in future is affordable and convenient to create more options for local people.

With online feedback now available until midnight on Sunday April 6, the plan will help support the delivery of a rail and bus metro system in South West Wales.

It also comes in advance of the Welsh Government’s Bus Bill, which is aimed at improving bus services in Wales by either placing them under greater local authority control or by enabling local authorities to run the services.

As well as online feedback on the draft regional transport plan, in-person events will be taking place in Carmarthenshire, Neath Port Talbot, Pembrokeshire and Swansea in the coming weeks.

Details of the dates, times and locations of these events will be announced as soon as they’re confirmed.

The draft regional transport plan includes initiatives and projects proposed for implementation between 2025 and 2030.

Head to the link in the comment below to find out more and have your say.

Only views submitted through the survey itself will be considered 👍
