Our next walk and talk group for parents and carers is on Wednesday 1 May at 1:00pm. The sessions are on the first Wednesday of every month and we meet at the car park at the back of Llanelli Leisure Centre (there is free parking for 3hrs)

The aim of the group is to promote health and wellbeing and strengthen and build friendships with like-minded people.

After the session we will go for refreshments in a nearby café.
