New vision
‘do it together’
Puts people at the centre
We believe there is an urgent need to
transform public services in Wales by:
• treating people and communities as assets and equals in design and delivery
• building services around the person and community• unlocking potential resources of time, money and
expertise to combine with state funding• using existing state resources to enable and
maximise citizen and community action, capital and care
