Project Discovery: Uncovering Solutions for Hidden Residents in Carmarthenshire

Project Applicant: Carmarthenshire County Council

Project title: Project Discovery: Uncovering Solutions for Hidden Residents in Carmarthenshire

Investment Priority: Community & Place

Location: Carmarthenshire

This project aims to enrich the lives of residents and communities that commissioned services typically have not been able to ‘reach’ or engage with, for example isolated people living in particularly rural areas, adult males, and people whose first language is neither Welsh nor English.

The project will fund dedicated community workers to reach out and talk to people to learn what they need and then work with them to find solutions. We want to be able to tailor resources and make commissioned services much more accessible and welcoming to them. We’ll also share project findings with our community and statutory partners to help us work together more effectively to support people.

What we learn on this project will feed directly into the wider Carmarthenshire County Council Community Preventative Services, which aims to ensure all our residents can start, live and age well in a safe and prosperous environment.
