September is Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month💜
Too many women are dismissed or misdiagnosed, and myths about gynae cancers add to the problem.
Let’s bust a big one⬇️ #GynaeCancerAwarenessMonth

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. We believe it’s a good day to challenge some assumptions about suicide & one of the biggest is -
- If a person is suicidal then there's nothing you can do.
This is not true.

Today would have been Claire’s 43rd birthday.
As we mark our first birthday without her and Gynaecological Cancers Awareness Month, we remember Claire not only for her strength, humour, and determination - but for the incredible legacy she leaves behind.

Listening. It's all about listening.
Volunteers from @SamaritansCymru are on hand if you need to talk.
Through working with organisations like them, we've been able to develop our new mental health and wellbeing strategy.
Don't forget you can call 111 press 2 for urgent mental health support too. 📱

So pleased @SamaritansCymru will be ensuring Lived Experience shapes and engages with this vital new Research Centre, at every turn. It's going to be a real asset for Wales, with influence far beyond.
People with lived experience are at the heart of the Centre. It brings researchers across Wales incl @AmandaMarch7 @JonScourfield together with policymakers and practitioners to drive evidence based change . Thankyou to @annaphillipsfn for all you do and your support in this

Insightful CPG on suicide prevention this morning. Thrilled with the election of @JulieMorganLAB as chair & we are proud to continue as secretariat.
Our thanks to @sarah4bridgend for attending. It was fantastic to see so many local Welsh voluntary groups engage in discussion.

More than 1/2 of children living in poverty in Wales live in a family with a young child.
Our new report takes a look at what more can be done to lift children out of poverty.
Take a look at our report or join us this lunchtime for our free webinar bevanfoundation.org/events/l…
More than half of all children living in poverty in Wales live in a family where there is at least one child aged 0–4.
Our new report with @BarnardosCymru shows what can be done to reduce poverty among families with a baby or toddler.

We’re relieved to see Housing Support Grant lifted in Welsh Gov’s 25-26 draft budget. But it’s unclear how much of the new NHS funding goes to mental health, and social housing funding falls far short. Services will also feel the strain of NI rises.
