Benefits of Residents Groups
Residents groups and tenants associations aim to empower housing residents to have more say in their communities and homes. They work to improve housing services and neighborhoods by dealing with resident concerns, campaigning for improvements, and consulting with landlords and other agencies on issues affecting residents. They also organize social activities to build community. Involvement in residents groups benefits both residents and landlords by improving services, building community spirit, and giving residents more influence over their housing conditions.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

Monitoring Health for the SDGs - Global Health Statistics 2024 - WHOChristina Parmionova
The 2024 World Health Statistics edition reviews more than 50 health-related indicators from the Sustainable Development Goals and WHO’s Thirteenth General Programme of Work. It also highlights the findings from the Global health estimates 2021, notably the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on life expectancy and healthy life expectancy.
3. The state of euphoria and pleasure in finding out that our successful application for major
funding from the Welsh Government soon turned into a year long journey of highs and lows
to build and complete our new Community Hub. However, we’ve done it!
4. A small local community based Charity has finally delivered for the people of Penparcau a
shiny new Community Hub.......what an achievement and I feel very proud to have played
a part in the rollercoaster journey it turned out to be.
We need to thank our Architects (Catalina Architecture), Contractors (HD Construction)
Trustees, Staff, Volunteers, our Elected Representatives and our Funders who have all
helped to make our dream and vision a reality......diolch yn fawr iawn!
10. That initial journey all started with funding from the
Peoples Health Trust to enable us to have those ‘local
conversations’ within Penparcau.
11. The ‘local conversations’ highlighted the need for new, accessible and modern facilities for all to
benefit from.
We’ve come a long way since those initial conversations and by building social capital with our
Trustees, Volunteers and our residents we are creating a truly resilient community. We always believed
that Penparcau is a resilient community. However, delivering a new facility such as the Community
Hub creates a focus for our residents to access and capitalise on all the opportunities the Hub brings
to our community.
14. Moreover, we’ve already seen a huge
increase in people seeking volunteering
opportunities with the Forum and especially
within the community cafe development. In
addition, we’ve seen a marked increase in
partnership working with individuals and
institutions charged with working in
Penparcau. All of which bodes well for the
future of Penparcau Community Forum and
for Penparcau in general.

16. Finally, a big thank you to Alun Davies AM, Welsh
Government Cabinet Secretary for Local Government and
Public Services, for doing the honours on the day.
