AS A long-established organisation working across Wales, and across multiple sectors, to support and empower people facing health challenges and difficult social conditions, Adferiad believes in providing the quickest and easiest route to recovery.

- REV SUE NORTHCOTT chair of trustees at Adferiad.

Last Friday saw the launch of our publication titled 'Towards a Fairer Future: Priorities for the next Welsh Government.

Despite good progress being made across the broad mental health field, our five key asks encapsulate what we feel should be the focus for whoever leads the executive in the Senedd following the elections in May 2026.

At the heart of all our demands is the importance of delivering person-centred, compassionate, enduring support.
