Golden Talent Woven Through Elder Generation

The growing army of older people in our community have so much to offer with an array of skills and talents. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

This became evident when Carmarthenshire council’s community resource team took to the road visiting Llanelli, Carmarthen and Ammanford on Older Persons Day. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

They found a golden thread of multi-skilled talent learned over many long lifetimes running through the elder generation who popped along a breakfast in Llanelli, a fruit kebab lunch in Carmarthen and a cream team in Ammanford ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

County Department of Communities locality community coordinator Ed Dewar said Integrated Services in partnership with Spice, were focusing on addressing social isolation and loneliness amongst older people. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
