This week, our Bettws coffee group took a trip to St Fagans ☕️

Children and adults spent a fun-filled day exploring the grounds and learning about Wales through play 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Museums often offer free entry to families which can help take some of the pressure off during the summer 🌞

Happy #InternationalYouthDay! 🌎️

It’s a child’s right to be listened to. In Wales, we’ll continue to amplify children's voices and ensure that they're heard loud and clear.

Here's to a world where every child thrives.

"Families are really struggling to know how they are going to provide the basics for their children this summer."
