It was the South Wales Argus Pride of Gwent awards last week.
The annual ceremony showcases the incredible individuals and groups within our communities who make a difference to people’s lives.
I was delighted to co-sponsor and present the ‘999 Hero Award’ to South Wales Fire and Rescue Service, alongside Temporary Chief Constable, Pam Kelly.
Congratulations to all those who received awards for your contribution and commitment.

Wales Anti-Slavery Leadership Group meeting
This week, I attended the Wales Anti-Slavery Leadership Group meeting in Cardiff.
It was a very informative meeting during which we heard from the new Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner, Dame Sara Thornton CBE QPM.
We also reviewed progress against the strategic anti-slavery delivery plan and discussed the findings of a report highlighting the review of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, assessing how we can continue to progress this work across Wales.

#PCCsMakingADifference Campaign
The Association of Police and Crime Commissioner’s launched the next campaign in their ‘#PCCsMakingADifference’ series last week.
This month’s campaign centred around victim’s services, so I was delighted to be able to promote the work of Connect Gwent, our victim’s hub.
The service brings together key organisations together under one roof, to ensure that we are always putting the victim first, offering them dedicated support that address their individual need.
If you are a victim, or know someone who is, you can contact Connect Gwent on 0300 123 21 33 for support and advice.
