Version 1.0 – March 2024

Who we are – Age Cymru Dyfed.

Age Cymru Ceredigion and Age Cymru Sir Gâr merged to form Age
Cymru Dyfed in April 2020, supporting older residents across
Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion, the Dyfed region. The
organisation is dedicated to helping individuals aged 50+ maintain
independence for as long as possible and make the most of later life
through a range of support and services.

The Dyfed region is popular with tourists and boasts beautiful coastlines
and scenery, with almost 50% of its residents aged 50+. The rural nature
of the region can make it difficult for older people to access services and
stay connected to communities. Age Cymru Dyfed is aiming to achieve
four operational and two organisational strategic objectives over the next
three years:

Age Cymru Dyfed are proud to have achieved many accreditations that
recognise the quality and standard of the work we deliver. ACD are
committed to providing the highest quality support and services to
individuals aged 50+, their family and carers.

This service is a pilot offered by Age Cymru Dyfed (ACD) and Age
Cymru Powys, supported by Age Cymru, and funded by the Welsh

The project aims to fill a significant service gap by offering practical

seeks to expand capacity in bereavement services and provide targeted
interventions for this vulnerable group.

The project additionally aims to
develop a robust evidence base that
can inform the future of bereavement
services for older adults in Wales.

The initiative will build both immediate
support capacity and long-term
strategies to ensure the well-being of
older adults, mitigating the burden on
health systems while shaping future
services for bereavement care.

The key part of the role is to provide
support to Age Cymru Dyfed’s
Bereavement Support Officer.

This role can be based in either
Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire or
Carmarthenshire.
