I was delighted to visit Merthyr College during World Skills UK competition Finals being held in South Wales this week.
It was great to talk to the amazing learners being unskilled to develop our future workforce for the hair and beauty industry and the social care and childcare sectors.

It was my pleasure to be there. Such a great campaign and lovely to speak to some care home residents who told me how their lives have been changed for the better.

This morning, civic and community leaders will lay wreaths to remember all those affected by the Aberfan disaster on this day in 1966.
My thoughts are with the community changed forever by the loss of 116 children and 28 adults on that terrible day 59 years ago.
