We are delighted to announce that our West Wales Veterans Archive project is the winner of the Contribution to Wellbeing award for the Community Archives and Heritage Group award 2021. 

The award looks at projects or activities which show evidence of running activities that have beneficial impacts on the physical, mental and social wellbeing of individuals and communities
The judges were impressed by the way this project connected the simple act of truly being human and listening to someone’s story with the formation of an archive. Participants are made to feel heard and valued while their narratives can connect and reconnect them with families and friends.
Hugh Morgan OBE Veterans Coordinator Age Cymru Dyfed:
“Age Cymru Dyfed is delighted and grateful to receive this national recognition from CAHG. The West Wales Veterans Archive has become an increasingly powerful source of mainly older veterans memories, providing enormous satisfaction to those veterans and their families who have shared their often hidden and understated stories. But this Archive also establishes a legacy which will inform generations for decades to come.
