Carmarthenshire Public Service Board seeks to improve community well being

Carmarthenshire’s Public Services Board (PSB) is seeking to improve the well being of people within the county, by asking them to participate in an online survey.

The results gathered will help the Public Services Board to understand the economic, social, environmental, and cultural factors that impact the well-being of individuals and communities within Carmarthenshire.

This information will shape the development of Carmarthenshire’s Local Well-being Plan for 2023-28.

The Plan will set out the well-being objectives for public service partners to improve the economic, social, environmental, and cultural well-being of Carmarthenshire.

Barry Liles, Chair of the Carmarthenshire PSB and Pro Vice-Chancellor (Skills & Lifelong Learning), University of Wales Trinity Saint David, said:

“We want our residents to tell us how we as public services can help make a better future for our future generations, by delivering what is important to our communities.”

Cllr Emlyn Dole, Leader of Carmarthenshire County Council and Vice-Chair of the PSB said:

“I would like to encourage everyone to take part in the survey, as this will help to shape the well-being assessment and Carmarthenshire’s Local Well-being Plan for 2023-28.”

Carmarthenshire’s Public Services Board is a partnership of public and third sector organisations working together to improve well-being across the county, and includes Carmarthenshire County Council, Hywel Dda University Health Board, Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service, Natural Resources Wales as well as other organisations.

The Welsh government claimed, in a video outlining the Wellbeing for future generations act 2015, that they want to focus on 7 elements to the wellbeing act including a prosperous, resilient Wales, which is healthier and more equal, with cohesive communities, a vibrant culture of thriving Welsh language and a Wales which is globally responsible. They also noted that we can all take action to achieve these goals, as individuals, families, communities and businesses, working with organisations such as the council, health board, public organisations and the Welsh government.
