  • 36Acorn Directory of Services Neath Port Talbot.Pdf
    FOREWORD Acorn was set up by a group of volunteers in August 2011 to promote positive mental health and improve the emotional health and wellbeing of individuals experiencing mental health issues in Neath Port Talbot. This directory has been produced because members of Acorn identified the need for information about services and support organisations to be easily available and in one place. It is estimated that one in four people will experience mental ill health at some point in their lifetime, so mental illness will, at one time or another impact on many of our lives, either directly or through family, friends or colleagues. It is important to be able to find the right help, support and guidance easily so we hope this directory will help to achieve this. We have tried to focus on local services, but where these don’t exist we have put together a section on national organisations, websites and help lines. If you would like to comment on the directory or contact members of Acorn please email: [email protected]. For further information, please contact Emma Jones on 01639 631 246.

EU funding has always been important to helping regenerate local areas, in the current climate it will be vital to maintaining the approach to revitalising local communities. This strategy is needed because local stakeholders have identified that a significant opportunity exists in Neath to better integrate the range of proposed actions tackling economic, social and environmental regeneration from the public, private, community and third sectors. The mix of communities in the Neath area, the diverse range of businesses in and around the town centre and the unique natural environment makes Neath ideally suited to be a model for the sustainable Welsh market town of the 21st century.

  • Life Saving Scheme Launched Across Wales
    Welsh Assembly Government | Life saving scheme launched across ... Page 1 of 2 Life saving scheme launched across Wales A new scheme that will help save the lives of people who have suffered a heart attack will be launched today (December 19, 2006) in the Senedd at 3pm by the Welsh Ambulance Service and Welsh Assembly Government. The public access defibrillation scheme will mean defibrillators, which are vital life-saving machines for people who have suffered a heart attack, will be made available in a number of busy public places such as railway stations and shopping centres. More than 20 sites across Wales are taking part in the scheme thanks to £80,000 funding for equipment from the Welsh Assembly Government. Additional recurrent funding of £61,000 a year is also available to fund training delivered by the Welsh Ambulance Service to staff and volunteers on the provision of basic life support and use the defibrillators. Gary Humphries is just one of many people whose life was saved by such a scheme when he collapsed with a heart attack in Hawthorn Leisure Centre, Treforest. He said, “If it wasn’t for the quick response of trained staff and the fact that a defibrillator was available at the leisure centre, I wouldn’t be here today.” The scheme, which is supported by the British Heart Foundation, increases the survival rates of people who have suffered a heart attack and encourages people to develop life saving skill which can be used before an ambulance arrives. Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust Medical Director Dr Mick Colquhoun said, “Every second counts when you are trying to save someone’s life and the sooner defibrillation is performed the greater the chance of survival.
