Established: 10 years

Bringing community organisations and volunteers into care homes helps to uncover where safeguarding issues lie by encouraging residents to think about their environments, what’s good and what’s not working. The project will be delivered by Age Connect NWC, across several parts of North Wales using staff and trained volunteers. As a result, older people in care homes will be supported to build or regain their confidence so that they feel able to make their voices heard, thus safeguarding their well-being and their rights and offering protection against all forms of abuse and neglect.
