Our project called \u201cGweithio i&#8217;r teulu \/ Working for the family\u201d, will bring together working families across Gwent to talk about what matters to them, what they\u2019re struggling with and eventually work together to create some initiatives to make things better.\u00a0 The places we\u2019ll be covering are: Caerphilly Borough &#8211; Hengoed, Blackwood, Risca; Newport; Blaenau Gwent &#8211; Nantyglo, Hilltop, Sirhowy and Cefn Golau and Monmouthshire &#8211; Caldicot, Chepstow, Abergavenny.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cUnited Welsh is leading the project and our consortium partners are Charter Housing, Monmouthshire Housing Association, Newport City Homes, Tai Calon and Linc Cymru.\u00a0 Our next step will be putting together the project team, ready to get out into our local communities.
