The Welsh Government recently launched a consultation to inform their strategy on tackling loneliness and social isolation, which closed last week. Their paper (which you can read in full here) sets out their vision of a more connected Wales, provides definitions of loneliness and social isolation, shares evidence collected so far, current strategies, a suggested approach, and areas for further research.

On 28 November, CTA held an event at the National Assembly for Wales to celebrate the value of community transport. At the event we shared with Members of the Welsh Assembly (AM) our thoughts on how community transport can fit in with the current and future policy priorities of the Welsh Government and the extent to which it is a lifeline to people across Wales.
