Whilst the floods have been devastating for many in Monmouthshire, including for our clients and team, it is heartening to see the community coming together and helping each other out.

A huge thank you to the Gwent emergency services who continue to work hard supporting people. They worked hard through the night clearing the flood waters in Abergavenny, and checked that our clients were as ok as they could be, when Meg, our Project Lead couldn't get through the flood.
Thank you!

Which is why our two key services (supported housing and floating support) help people rebuild their lives. E-bulletin link in first comment.
