On Saturday 28 March 2026, AP Cymru and The Open University in Wales will launch the first-ever Caring for Carers Cymru community event - a full day dedicated to supporting carers of neurodivergent children. Hosted at The Marion Centre, Cardiff from 10am–4pm, we're bringing together specialists, services, and resources under one roof to give carers the practical help and emotional support they deserve.

Here's six things you may not have known about carers in Wales:

What does Wales mean to you? Is it its rich landscape, its traditions, or its industrial heritage? Or is it more about modern Wales – whether that’s the crunch of an electric guitar, marching at a Pride event, or celebrating our contemporary arts scene?

What makes a place home? Is it the soil under your fingernails, the nicknames shouted across a pub, or the echo of a Norman castle?

The Open University in Wales is partnering with Bridgend College, the Office of the Future Generations Commissioner, and Unloc, to launch Newid - the Future Generations Changemaker Academy.

The Open University has announced a new fully funded Digital Degree Apprenticeship for Wales.

Here’s an update on some of the work our employability advisers have been doing recently to get our students ready for work.

A retired solider with a passion for history, and parent of four who’s about to start a Masters in HR are just two of the graduates we met today.

The new academic year is about to start. If you are being funded through Student Finance Wales, we want to warn our students to stay cautious of scams.
