Welcome to CPF LOUD & CLEAR

This micro-media initiative, which launched in July 2026, is an ever-growing living archive of short videos, where the Members of Carmarthenshire People First, and the wider LD community in West Wales, talk about their own lives, in their own words - helping us to understand what it is truly like to have a cognitive difference in the 21st century.CPF LOUD & CLEAR is where Members share their own experiences - the things they're proud of, what they think & how they feel and what they want people to understand about learning disabilities, autism and cognitive difference. Some videos offer helpful tips, others celebrate everyday successes, some provide valuable insights while others challenge common clichés & misunderstandings.Every video is a real story, told in the real voice of the person who lives it.
Because when people speak in their own words, their voices carry LOUD & CLEAR.
