Are you interested in joining a photographers collective?Wales has only one other (non disabled) photographers collective, so we would be the first of our kind, which could be a huge thing within the arts field.
It will be a question of submitting previous and current work and I, the organizer of the group will handle the media aspects of the project which will involve cross platform media presence. You will be left with entire creative freedom in your work as it’s the method not the message that will give the group cohesion. There are links below for you to view.

A social research company based in Swansea called Opinion Research Services has been commissioned by Citizens Advice Cymru to explore housing issues with a range of private rented tenants. They would like to understand experiences of living in the private rented sector (especially in terms of the quality of their accommodation; repairs and fuel poverty; energy efficiency; security of tenure and tenancy contracts) as well as changes Welsh Government are making to rental contracts in 2017, and how best to communicate these.
As part of the research, they are really interested in talking to tenants who have physical disabilities and who currently rent from a private landlord. They are looking at recruiting a group of around 5 tenants with physical disabilities who live in the private rented sector to take part in a discussion group that would last about 2 hours or alternatively they could undertake interviews over the telephone.
They are interested in finding tenants who would be interested in taking part. They will be providing an incentive to recompense people for their time.

Helfa Gelf Cyfyngedig is an innovative organisation, that has achieved amazing things with the funding we have raised to run our projects.
We manage to do this because we have a truly amazing and very dedicated bunch of volunteers from each county that support us with coordination, distribution, exhibitions, our brochure as well as the admin tasks that come with running a company.
Would you like to get involved? We are always looking for new people to support our work, who want some experience with events management or simply believe in what we do and want to help. Maybe you have ideas about how we can improve what we do or other things you could see us supporting? Maybe you have a particular expertise you think we could benefit from? We would love to hear from you and have you on board!
We currently only have enough funding to support a short term part time coordination contract. Dawn Worsely did a fantastic job coordinating the Open Studios event , residencies and exhibitions last year, but unfortunately she has moved away. The contracts runs from 1st May to 31st December 2016 and you would need to commit roughly 3 days a week. The job comes with a “buy-out” fee, rather than a wage. You would gain experience in managing and coordinating exhibitions, residencies and the Open Studios. You would also be in charge of budgeting and marketing the event. If you think this is a job that might appeal to you, please email sabine@helfagelf.co.uk and yo u will be sent the full job descriptions ( Welsh and English) as well as what is required to apply for the post.
Our passionate, dedicated team is what has kept us going and helped us develop over the last 11 years. Please support us to keep Helfa Gelf growing in 2016!
This project received funding through the Arts Council Wales and Local Authority partners.

As school children take part in Roald Dahl-inspired workshopRoald Dahl’s books are loved by millions of people around the world. However not many people know that the world’s number one storyteller was actually Welsh. Literature Wales, the national company for the development of literature is on a mission to change that, and to bring Roald Dahl back to Wales.
2016 marks 100 years since the birth of Roald Dahl and to celebrate this important centenary, Literature Wales has officially launched INVENT YOUR EVENT, a new funding and outreach scheme which will get people all over Wales involved in creative writing and reading. Invent your Event is funded by the Welsh Government and is supported by the Roald Dahl Literary Estate.
Invent your Event was officially launched at Wrexham County Borough Museum on Thursday 25 February, with the Deputy Minister for Culture, Sport and Tourism, Ken Skates, and children from Brynteg Primary School taking part in a riotous workshop exploring the science behind Roald Dahl’s stories with writers Mark Brake and Mike Church.
Literature Wales has also announced a specific outreach programme which will ensure that people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities have the opportunity to take part in the Roald Dahl 100 Wales celebrations.
To find out more about Invent your Event, contact Literature Wales:
029 2047 2266 / roalddahl100wales@literaturewales.org or visit: literaturewales.org/roalddahl

We just wanted to share this new charity challenge that’s started this week – Take Off The Tape.
The challenge is: write down the thing that makes you most anxious – on a piece of tape, or sticky note, or even your hand. Take a selfie with it and share it on social media. Hundreds of people have already shared theirs – lots are really moving and inspiring.
Take a look at hundreds more on – Twitter – Facebook – Instagram.
It’s all to say we won’t be silenced by anxiety because, shockingly, even younger people think that bottling things up is the right thing to do!
So what do you think? If you don’t normally talk about what worries you, could you Take Off The Tape on something that makes you anxious?
Please only take part if you’re 100% ready to do this – don’t push yourself too hard. But if you’re not feeling up to it, perhaps you could share it with a friend? And if you are ready, thank you! Keeping anxiety inside is a big problem. Together we can help to change that.
