Hywel Dda's 'Get into Health' programme inspires Wales
Hywel Dda Health Board and Prince’s Trust Cymru’s Get into Health programme has won in the Corporate Social Responsibility category at the prestigious Inspire Wales Awards.
The ceremony, held in Cardiff, recognised unsung heroes and sources of inspiration across Wales.
The Prince’s Trust Cymru Get into Health programme gives unemployed young people the skills, confidence and work experience they need to find a job in the NHS.
Hywel Dda Health Board’s Chief Executive Trevor Purt said: “I am so proud of the scheme and the young people and staff that have got involved and demonstrates such commitment.
“To date, more than 100 young people from across Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire have taken part and received an insight into employment and career opportunities available in the NHS. We hope that this recognition inspires even more young people to do the same.”
Ian Thomas at The Prince’s Trust Cymru said: “Hywel Dda has shown great belief in our young people, a belief that many had never experienced before in their lives. The employees of Hywel Dda are approachable, non-judgmental, inspiring, empowering and passionate about what they do, truly living the values of The Prince’s Trust.”
