Stroller Event – Dinas Powys
5th January 2026
Join us for a friendly and gentle “strollers” walk in Dinas Powys. Unpaid carers and those they look after are welcome – perfect for a steady sociable outing.
Attendees will be able to go on a strollers walk around Dinas and then come back the to The Cross Keys Pub for free refreshments and a quiz.
The walk will be led by Paul Hawkins*, a trustee with Valeways, who is very experienced in leading stroller walks.
The walk will last around 1 hour and is approximately 2 miles long. The majority of the stroll will be on pavements, although there is one section on grass.
* Please let Paul if you have any problems he should know about prior to the walk. I can adjust the length of the walk as we are progressing if it is too long for those walking or if anyone is having trouble.
Meet-up details:
Time: 10:00am
Starting point: Cross Keys Pub, Elm Grove Road, Dinas Powis, CF64 4AA
Contact: Paul Hawkins paul@valeways.org.uk

Help shape the future of social care in Wales
Do you (or someone you know) receive help and support – this could be help with everyday tasks to live independently at home, help from care staff in a care home, or community support such as day centres?
If so, we want to hear from you – please complete our short survey now. The Older People’s Commissioner is looking at how social care in Wales could be improved.
Your feedback – about what’s working well and what needs to change – will help to make sure future services are more focused on what really matters to older people. The Commissioner will publish a report in 2026 that sets out her findings, together with recommendations for action to address any issues she identifies.
Complete the Commissioner’s survey here: https://olderpeople.wales/socialcare/
Or call 03442 640 670 to request a copy of the survey (which can be returned via freepost) or to complete the survey over the phone with a member of the Commissioner’s Team.
If you currently receive carers’ information in the post, or if someone has forwarded this information on to you, we would be very grateful if you could provide an email address, so you do not miss out on opportunities to apply for funding or attend an appropriate training course, for example.
Note: If you have received this email from us, you do not need to provide your email address.
