Our Health and Wellbeing Participation Officers Owen Griffkin (Mental Health ) and Andrew Davies (Health & Wellbeing) ran the training from our Lllandrindod offices. The aim of the day was to build the confidence, knowledge and skills of participants, some of whom were already volunteering as citizen or individual reps, so that they could effectively participate in the planning and reviewing of services with public bodies. Citizen reps volunteer their time, energy and passion to make a difference for others and to the services we receive, and are helping influence change at local, regional and national levels.
