Quick-Fire Questions

What do you do in your role?

I lead the team of Memory and Wellbeing guides and Activities Coordinators at Age Connects Morgannwg, each day is different, and it is always busy.

Supporting the team to deliver the best, person-centred support that we can offer, they are all incredibly dedicated to the work we do and really strive to make a difference to the people that we support.
