Could your service benefit from using Dewis Cymru?
Dewis Cymru has been developed to help people find information about organisations and services that can help them take control of their own wellbeing.
It’s useful for people like Social Workers, Wellbeing Officers, GPs, Librarians, Schools and lots of local organisations who offer information to the public as part of their work - like us!
As part of our drive to keep all wellbeing services in one place, we would love for you to add your service to the Dewis Cymru website. You can visit and register using the links here:

Dewis is a one stop shop for reliable and up to date Health and Wellbeing Advice and Information.
Every resource needs to be reviewed at least every 6 months, otherwise it expires and is no longer ‘live’, and regulated Services need to be approved by the Care Inspectorate Wales before they can be published on Dewis.
Services can be searched for by Key Word, Category or by Outcomes. This makes the search suitable for people who know exactly what service they are looking for, and also for those who might not know what they are looking for but might know what Wellbeing outcome they would like to achieve, e.g – a Search for services with the outcome ‘Being Active’ or ‘Making Friends’.
Services can also be searched for by location and a Post Code search. This helps when you are signposting someone else to services as the search can be tailored by proximity to them.
If the service also has a physical address that can be visited (not just a postal address) then the search results will also display Google directions to the services, by car, foot or public transport.
Adding the service in our Welsh language is optional unless you are adding local authority services where it is mandatory. If you need help with adding your service in Welsh we encourage you to use Helo Blod - a fast and friendly service that provides free Welsh translation. Visit the website here. Welcome to Helo Blod | Helo Blod (gov.wales) to register.
