Thanks to the support of an EU backed employment project, 27-year-old Dafydd William Thomas, from Llanelli, has found a job with a local construction company. Having been out of work since May 2012, Dafydd’s struggle to find a job had landed a major blow to his confidence. It was thanks to a referral to the South West Workways project by Jobcentre Plus that things began to pick up. Dafydd said “I was unemployed for 12 months before signing up for Workways. I couldn’t find any jobs as I lacked qualifications and experience.” Workways helped Dafydd to search for job vacancies, to refine his CV and to complete site safety training. Due to his inexperience, the project also supported him to access a temporary job as a labourer with local company, TRJ Construction. Impressing over the course of his contract, TRJ were only too happy to offer Dafydd a permanent job. Len Gibbons, Site Manager, TRJ Construction said “Dafydd has learnt a lot since he’s been with the company. He’s doing a ...

Latest 'Healthy Wednesday' advice from the Hywel Dda Health Board -  Caring about back care this Healthy Wednesday This Healthy Wednesday and Back Care Awareness Week, we are focusing on back care for carers. This year’s Back Care Awareness Week, held from now until October 11, focuses on caring for carers. Caring for others can cause problems in our own health, which are very often ignored. Looking after someone may involve helping them with physical tasks, such as getting in and out of beds, baths or chairs. Without advice and training in safe techniques, the carers may be putting themselves at risk of strain or injury. Consequently, more than 70% of the UK’s unpaid carers suffer from back pain. Carers are also at greater risk of developing chronic pain, which is disabling in a third of cases and life-long for the majority. If you know or work with carers, or are a carer yourself, help and advice can be found at www.backcare.org.uk If you look after someone and nee...
