SURFACE at Plaid Cymru Spring Conference

SURFACE team members, Professor Marcus Ormerod and Rita Newton, have spoken at a fringe event and drinks reception at the Spring Conference of the political party, Plaid Cymru.

The event in Anglesey, Wales, was hosted by I'DGO, the research consortium on older people and the outdoors, of which SURFACE is a core member.

The event was addressed by Ieuan Wyn Jones AM, Welsh Assembly Member for Ynys Môn, who has previously supported the consortium’s work at the presentation of its research findings in the Senedd, Cardiff (May 2012).

Speaking at the event on St David’s Day, Ieuan Wyn Jones said “Ageing-in-place is an important concept for Wales, which has a higher percentage of older people than anywhere else in the UK”.
