Text of petition

Anheddau Cyf is a long-established, not-for-profit charity supporting over 140 people with learning disabilities across North Wales. For 35 years, Anheddau has empowered individuals to live independently in shared homes, rooted in community life. Its commitment to high-quality, person-centred care has earned it a glowing rating from Care Inspectorate Wales in February 2025, and the trust of families across the region (1).

Additional information

Charitable care providers face severe financial strain due to rising costs and underfunding from local authorities. Despite increased Welsh Government funding, much isn't reaching frontline services like Anheddau. We urge the Welsh Government to ensure full fund pass-through, enforce fair commissioning standards, engage with providers on funding impacts, and commit to long-term reform to protect essential care services and the people who rely on them.
