Voices from the Vale – Your Work, Your Stories

09 November 2026

We’re launching Voices from the Vale – a new initiative inviting colleagues from across the Council to share their news about the exciting work happening in their service areas, told in their own words.

From innovative projects and new developments to team achievements, we want to shine a spotlight on the fantastic work taking place across the organisation.

And what better way to do that than by hearing directly from the people making it happen?

A number of colleagues have already been busy putting pen to paper, with some brilliant features already on Staffnet. These include heartfelt updates like Lynne’s Gifting It Forward initiative, alongside larger-scale projects such as the much-anticipated move of Children and Young People's Services to Ty Jenner in Barry.

Whether you're part of a team delivering an exciting new project, celebrating a recent achievement, introducing a new service or simply have a story you think colleagues would love to hear about, we want to hear from you!

Our usual internal news features and updates written by the Communications Team will continue as normal. Voices from the Vale is an additional way to get more colleagues involved in sharing the great work happening across the Council.

Have a story to share?

If you have an idea for a feature you'd like us to share, get in touch with the Communications Team. You can contact Hollie Crooke – hcrooke@valeofglamorgan.gov.uk - with your ideas, updates or even a completed article for our next Voices from the Vale feature.
