Petition: Secure Fair Funding for Charitable Social Care Providers Anheddau Cyf is a long-established, not-for-profit charity supporting over 140 people with learning disabilities across North Wales. For 35 years, Anheddau has empowered individuals to live independently in shared homes, rooted in community life. Its commitment to high-quality, person-centred care has earned it a glowing rating from Care Inspectorate Wales in February 2025, and the trust of families across the region (1).

This petition urges Welsh Government to ensure all funding reaches frontline services, enforce fair commissioning standards, engage with providers on funding impacts, and commit to long-term reform to protect essential care services.

Whilst the school holidays can offer a time for rest and also a chance for new experiences, for many #neurodivergent children this can be a difficult time, adding additional pressure on families.
