    Cabinet Member for a Caring Powys, Cllr Sian Cox said:

    "We know that our wellbeing depends on a range of things, which vary a littlefrom person to person, but fundamentally include feeling fulfilled, valued, part of something and in control of our lives. Day opportunities should contribute to these aspects of wellbeing.

    “We know from conversations with many people across Powys that our day opportunities could contribute more meaningfully to fulfilledlives. This engagement project will explore, with you, how that might be done.

    “I encourage everyone with an interest in day opportunities to take part. We want to understand what matters to people who use day services, have in the past or may in the future; what matters to carers, families, and communities; what works well already, and what ‘better’ might look like; as we work together towards equal, inclusive, and high-quality day opportunities across Powys.”

    The closing date for responses is Monday 11 December 2023. You can also email comments to: thedayopportunitiesreview@powys.gov.uk
