Conwy & Denbighshire PSB

Well-being assessments

The Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015  places a duty on us as public sector partners to work together to prepare and publish an assessment of the state of economic, social, environmental and cultural well-being of Conwy and Denbighshire.

Firstly, we gathered and analysed as much data, evidence, research and insights as we could about residents’ well-being.  This has informed our Well-being Assessment, which helps us to understand the current situation as well as ensure that we plan for the future.

The findings from the Well-being Assessment help us to identify and plan how we can help to improve well-being across Conwy and Denbighshire, now and in the future.

We are now planning for our next Well-Being Assessment, which is required to be published in 2027.

Conwy & Denbighshire Well-being Assessment - Executive Summary

Conwy & Denbighshire well-being plan

Approved in March 2023, this plan sets out the local objectives the PSB Board will pursue to improve the economic, social, cultural, and environmental well-being of the area.

The publication of the Local Well- being Plan marks the culmination of work that began in 2021. It reflects our assessment of well- being and identifies key opportunities for collaborative action in areas where the PSB can make the greatest contribution without duplicating the excellent work already happening within existing partnerships and
organisations.

Our main focus is to make Conwy and Denbighshire a more equal place with less deprivation. To support this, we have identified four key themes:

Well-being – Communities are happier, healthier, and more resilient in the face of challenges such as climate change, nature emergencies, and the rising cost of living.
Economy – A flourishing economy supported by a skilled workforce fit for the future.
Equality – Fewer barriers for people with protected characteristics.
Housing – Improved access to good-quality housing.

Although significant work has already taken place to reach this point, this is only the beginning of the PSB’s journey. The plan outlines what we aim to achieve, but further development is needed to shape our programme of work. We welcome your input as part of our ongoing conversation with communities. If you would like to stay informed, get involved, or provide feedback, please contact us.
