🕊️ Remembering Aberfan 🕊️

Today, we remember the lives lost in the Aberfan disaster on 21 October 1966, when a coal spoil tip collapsed above the village, claiming the lives of 144 people, including 116 children.

As we pause to reflect, we honour the children, families, school staff, rescuers, and the entire community whose strength and resilience continue to inspire generations.

Our thoughts are with everyone affected by this tragedy, and we join communities across Wales in remembering those who never came home.

🕯️

You may be eligible if you or someone in the home:

✅ Are d/Deaf

Small changes can make a big difference. 💜

To support children, young people and adults with Developmental Language Disorder:

✅ Use clear language

Creating communication-friendly environments benefits everyone.💛

Gall newidiadau bach wneud gwahaniaeth mawr. 💜

✅ Rhowch gyfarwyddiadau mewn camau llai
✅ Defnyddiwch luniau a symbolau gweledol lle bo modd
