Healthy Minds, Better Lives

A new population of marsh fritillaries has been discovered by Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority and Butterfly Conservation volunteers in Cwm Gwaun, offering hope for one of Europe’s most vulnerable butterflies, which has disappeared from 43% of its British range since 1985.

Thanks to donations, Hywel Dda Health Charities, the official charity of Hywel Dda University Health Board, has funded four support groups for patients with Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) and Pulmonary Fibrosis (PF).

Hywel Dda University Health Board (UHB) held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Thursday 25 September 2025, reflecting on the challenges and achievements of the past year and celebrating the dedication of its staff through the Hywel’s Applause awards.

Carew Castle will transform into an alternative 18th-century world this weekend, as The Storymaster’s Tales present Folklore Realms – a live action role-playing adventure like no other.

A new project has launched to help people across Pembrokeshire improve their wellbeing through time spent outdoors.

Staff from Hywel Dda University Health Board have created a series of colourful artworks that will go on display across the four main hospitals in Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire.
