At Rainbow Care, we do care differently. Our model is built on person‑centred care, independent living, and meaningful connection, offered within a warm, welcoming community setting, not a clinical institution.

Our mission is simple: to ensure individuals living with dementia are placed at the heart of everything we do. At each club, care plans are tailored to the individual, based on their interests, life stories, and abilities, not defined by a diagnosis. We see the person, not the condition. That means choosing activities they enjoy, like reminiscence workshops, art and craft, gentle exercise, music and themed days, quizzes and mental stimulation games, even day trips, designed so everyone can participate and thrive in a supportive environment.

Our small group format (typically 10–12 people per day) plus a high staff‑to‑client ratio (1:4) ensures each attendee receives personal attention whether in a group activity or one-to-one support. Staff are specialist-trained in dementia awareness, safeguarding, first aid, and moving & handling, allowing attendees to live safely and with dignity. 

Carers can enjoy a full day of respite, knowing their loved one is engaging in stimulating activities in a safe, friendly setting. It offers the breathing space families and unpaid carers so often need to rest, to run errands, or simply to pause.

Even more than a day service, we are all about supporting independence and quality of life. Attendees stay connected with their community and social groups, continue doing things they love, and experience purpose and belonging. Our focus is always on choices and abilities, promoting dignity and inclusion in all we do.

Even more than a day service, we are all about supporting independence and quality of life. Attendees stay connected with their community and social groups, continue doing things they love, and experience purpose and belonging.

Join us for a Free Open Day to meet the team, see the space, and find out how we “care differently.” We'll introduce you to our approach: your loved one, our bespoke activities, your dedicated key worker, and the support structure that sets our service apart.

Rainbow Care Group Monmouthshire is about community, connection, and choice. We believe that every person living with dementia deserves to remain at home, feel empowered, and enjoy a quality of life full of purpose and companionship.

Free Open Day – 17th September
Reserve your place today. Let us show you how Rainbow Care Group is transforming dementia day services, one person‑centred connection at a time.

Contact us for more details - let’s make a meaningful difference together.

We are thrilled to announce the opening of Rainbow Care Group Monmouthshire, a brand-new, community-based dementia day service serving the Monmouthshire and Torfaen areas.

Britain’s Got Talent Finalist Travis George Announces Debut Headline Concert:  This Moment

Travis George, the powerful baritone who captured the hearts of millions as a finalist on Britain’s Got Talent, is stepping into the spotlight with his first headline concert, This Moment, at the Riverfront Theatre, Newport.

The show’s title draws directly from a defining comment by Simon Cowell, who urged Travis to embrace his potential and believe in himself. Since his breakthrough on BGT, Travis has grown into a confident and compelling performer, known for his emotional depth, classical tone, and commanding stage presence.

This Moment marks a significant milestone in Travis’s rising career. With a voice that stunned the BGT judges and a story that resonated across the country, Travis now brings his journey full circle—sharing the music that has shaped him, from musical theatre classics to contemporary favourites, in a performance that reflects both his roots and his aspirations.

He will be joined on stage by acclaimed local vocal ensembles, the Male Choirs of Torfaen and Abertillery, and the Tenovus Sing with Us choir as well as special guest Laura Sydney, known for her appearances on The Voice.

This performance is more than a concert—it’s the next step for an artist with national recognition and growing acclaim. For fans of Travis’s unforgettable performances on BGT and lovers of powerful, genre-spanning live music, This Moment is a must-see.

Tickets go on sale Thursday, 4th July

Join Britain's Got Talent Finalist Travis George as he reflects on the songs that are shaping his career. A cornucopia of theatre, classic and contemporary music.

Martin Llewellyn is the living breathing example of the working class artist who ‘made good’. 

The fairy tale of the carpet fitter who began his masterful career as a painter, because his wife, Allison, gifted him some sketching pencils and materials one Christmas. 

Drawing and sketching again, Martin was able to rediscover his passion for the art, painting firstly in watercolours.  It was only when he visited a gallery and was told that the work “wasn’t quite there yet” that the real desire and determination for success was lit within.

He continued working as a carpet fitter, whilst developing his art along the way, commandeering his garden shed as his first studio. 

“The visit to the gallery, who told me my work wasn’t quite ready, gave me the determination to get better. I was working in my shed-come-studio one day and I thought right, I’m going to use a palette knife and oils - that was the first time…” 

Thankfully, Martin did not give up on his art, if he had, we would not be able to enjoy his masterful use of the palette knife. Completely self-taught, Martin’s work is reminiscent of the classical art training taught in art academies throughout the 20th century. 

His style is distinctly Welsh. The country’s moody, windswept land and seascapes provide the inspiration. He has an ability to catch the Welsh landscape as its light and conditions change minute by minute. 

Martin has prepared for this solo exhibition for the last 18 months. “It’s a big achievement to exhibit for the 6th time at the Albany Gallery. They have always believed in me and shown lots of support”. 

His influences over the years have included Sir Kyffin Williams, Gwilym Pritchard and Charles Wyatt Warren. Martin explains: "I’m influenced by their technique as well as their subject matter and my inspiration comes from the landscapes and seascapes that surround me".     

Meryl Cubley August 2025 


Known for his bold palette knife landscapes and seascapes, Martin captures the raw beauty of Wales with powerful texture and emotion.

We’re thrilled to welcome Welsh actress and national treasure Joanna Page to Penarth to celebrate the publication of her memoir, 'Lush!' – a funny, candid and endlessly surprising account of her journey from Swansea to stardom.

We can't promise that you'll find out what happened on *that* fishing trip, but we can guarantee an unforgettable and totally lush night out!

***
From a small village on the outskirts of Swansea to the sets of 'Love Actually' and 'Gavin & Stacey', Joanna Page’s journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. In this heartfelt memoir, Joanna shares her story in full for the first time – from awkward early auditions and chasing her big break, to falling in love, motherhood, and emotional farewells to beloved roles.

Expect behind-the-scenes stories with stars like Ruth Jones, James Corden, Emma Thompson and Johnny Depp, plus honest reflections on life at RADA, the madness of fame, and finding your voice without losing yourself. This is a moving, laugh-out-loud celebration of the messy, magical moments that shape us.

We're expecting this to be a very popular event, so book early to avoid disappointment!

Joanna Page was born in Swansea and attended her local comprehensive school before graduating from RADA in 1998. She spent a decade performing on stage with the Royal National Theatre and Royal Shakespeare Company, before landing roles in major films such as 'From Hell', 'Nativity 2: Danger in the Manger', and Richard Curtis' 'Love Actually'. Joanna became a household name as Stacey Shipman in the BBC’s much-loved comedy 'Gavin & Stacey', appearing in all three series, the 2019 Christmas special, and the final ever episode in 2024, which became the UK’s most-watched scripted show since records began.

Alongside her acting career, Joanna regularly appears on TV as a presenter, most recently fronting 'Joanna Page’s Wild Life for the BBC'. When she’s not working, she’s at home with her husband, actor James Thornton, their four children, two dogs (Lola and Bess), and four guinea pigs.
'Lush!' is her first memoir.
