Today, Arts Council of Wales has launched Major Productions – a new fund shaped by sector feedback, designed to support the most ambitious live work in Wales. Grants of £100,000–£300,000 are available for theatre, dance and musical theatre projects that show bold ambition, strong partnerships and artistic excellence.

Dafydd Rhys, Chief Executive of Arts Council of Wales said: “Major Productions reflects part of our vision for the arts in Wales, as a place where the most ambitious and exciting work is created and shared.

“This fund has been shaped by listening to the sector and responding to what organisations told us they need. It was also one of the recommendations in the review we commissioned into English language theatre in Wales.

“With £600,000 available, we know competition for the Major Productions fund will be strong. Wales is full of extraordinary talent and creativity, and we encourage organisations to review the guidance and see if this opportunity is right for them.”

Applications open 3 November 2025. Closing date for applications is Wednesday, 28 January 2026. Find out more here: https://bit.ly/43kbo08

Single Parents Wellbeing has over 3000 members across Wales , sadly too many of our members have suffered domestic abuse including coercive control, and therefore we welcome the government's decision to stop the presumption of contact.

Many of our members who suffered DA have been navigating a family court system that has let them and their children down - which has caused additional trauma, prolonged healing and in some cases further harm and abuse.

This step whilst positive must be part of a much wider suite of systemic reform that should include survivors being heard and involved to ensure that children’s safety and wellbeing sits at the heart of every decision made within family court proceedings.

😒Medical Model asks:
"Can you provide evidence of your condition?"

💬Social Model says:
Disabled people deserve access and support without having to justify their impairment.

Access is a right, not a reward.

Let’s stop gatekeeping and start believing disabled people.

Creativity can be a powerful support for your mind.
It's not about being "good" at it - it's about expression.

Try writing, doodling, baking, or making something small.
Because making something can help you feel something.

Why not have a go at creating your own lovespoon design that celebrates who you are and what makes you special?

This is your reminder to pause.

Take a deep breath. Notice one thing around you.
You're here. That's enough.
