We joined other organisations to the launch of the Wales Benefits Charter at Blaenavon Resource Centre on Monday 22nd January.

The Welsh Benefits Charter sets out guiding principles for the design and roll-out of payments and grants that are devolved to the Welsh Government and has been signed by all 22 Local Authorities in Wales.
