Very deep poverty is rising in Wales. More people using food banks, unable to heat their homes, or living in temporary accommodation, means the human cost and impact on public services is huge.
To close the gap between the support many of us think will be available and the reality of high costs and long waiting lists, care must be more available, efficient and affordable.
This new approach brings together action to improve paid care with support for unpaid carers and social networks.
