Wellbeing

Wales has plans to protect nature and the environment for generations to come in the form of the pioneering Wellbeing of Future Generations (Wales) Act (2015) with the UN Sustainable Development Goals at its core.

The Act has seven Wellbeing Goals and the Trust is one of 44 named bodies in the Act, which means we have a legal duty to act today, for a better tomorrow.

Our Trust Strategy ‘Destination 2033’ has the Act at its heart and outlines a clear ambition for our organisation in the coming years; the delivery of high quality, sustainable care services which reduce our impact on the environment and provide wider value to our communities.

The Trust has developed Wellbeing Objectives to achieve the states Wellbeing Goals outlined in the act. Our wellbeing objectives are:

• Reduce health inequalities, make it easier to access the best possible healthcare when it is needed and help prevent ill health by collaborating with the people of Wales in novel ways.
• Improve the health and wellbeing of families across Wales by striving to care for the needs of the whole person.
• Create new, highly skilled jobs and attract investment by increasing our focus on research, innovation and new models of delivery.
• Deliver on bold solutions to the environmental challenges posed by our activities.
• Demonstrate respect for the diverse cultural heritage of modern Wales.
• Bring communities and generations together through involvement in the planning and delivery of our services.
• Strengthen the international reputation of the Trust as a centre for excellence for teaching, research, technical innovation while also making a lasting contribution to global wellbeing.

We’re currently refreshing our Wellbeing Objectives as require under the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act and will begin engagement with stakeholders shortly.
