-over the next 50 minutes.

-the claims from Age Cymru...

-..that Wales faces an epidemic

-of loneliness in the elderly.

-Lowri Steffan shows us how to use

-popular floral prints in our homes.

-We start the programme by continuing

-our series of women in history...

-..with Dr Elin Jones.

-Welcome to the programme, Dr Elin.

-Last week,

-we looked at influential women.

-Today, we'll start

-by looking at the difficulty...

-..in learning about these women

-in the first place.

-The evidence surrounding the role of

-women in history is quite scarce.

-Some scholars have studied

-women in history.

-Deirdre Beddoe and Ursula Masson...

-..established

-the Women's Archive of Wales.

-It's a great thing to have.

-In the past, a lot of women

-lost their names...

-..as they got married.

-Throughout history...

-..many people have been unwilling

-to acknowledge the role of women.

-This is especially true...

-..in fields that are deemed

-unsuitable for women.

-Women who were successful

-were dubbed as being pushy.

-Deirdre Beddoe has written

-many publications...

-..about the role of women

-in history...

-..such as

-Discovering Women's History.

-A lot of other books

-have been published...

-..but nothing in Welsh.

-Deirdre is from Barry.

-She lectured in Pontypridd.

-She established a department

-at the university...

-..that solely studies

-the history of women.

-A lot of research

-into women in history...

-..has been carried out in the

-universities of South Wales...

-..as well as Bangor and Swansea.

-Women have been recognized

-throughout history...

-..for their nurturing roles

-such as nursing and teaching.

-Women are becoming more prominent in

-the world of politics.

-We all know about Margaret Thatcher

-and Theresa May...

-..but we must also think of women

-around the world...

-..such as the Chancellor of Germany,

-Angela Merkel.

-Nicola Sturgeon

-is the First Minister of Scotland.

-More and more women

-are making their way in roles...

-..that have been classed

-as masculine roles in the past.

-People need to look

-behind a woman's outfit.

-People look at the Prime Minister...

-..and look at her clothes...

-..as opposed to the things

-that she has to say.

-I'm a member of

-the Women's Archive of Wales.

-The archive was established

-20 years ago.

-Deirdre and Ursula

-have done a lot...

-..in terms of collecting

-the history of women.

-The archive has a lot of events...

-..that welcomes people

-to bring their stories to us...

-..and this evidence

-is put on record...

-..for the future generations.

-It's important that keep all of the

-things that we have in our homes...

-..in terms of the history of

-their mothers and grandmothers.

-A lot of women played a role

-in the running of local farms.

-Tell us more about Ursula.

-Ursula Masson

-was a Welsh academic and writer...

-..who worked closely

-with the Honno Press.

-She was also a broadcaster.

-She established a group in Swansea.

-She helped Deirdre to establish

-the Women's Archive of Wales.

-I was at the meeting

-to establish this archive.

-The Women's Archive of Wales

-has done a lot...

-..to promote the recognition

-of women in Welsh history.

-The Women's Archive of Wales

-has a very extensive website.

-After the break...

-..we hear of Age Cymru's campaign

-to combat loneliness in the elderly.

-Lowri Steffan shows us how to use

-floral prints in our homes.

-Join us in a few minutes.

-Welcome back.

-Wales is facing an epidemic

-of loneliness in its elderly...

-..according to the charity,

-Age Cymru.

-Lyndon Lloyd from the charity

-joins us to discuss this.

-Welcome to the programme, Lyndon.

-Welcome to the programme, Lyndon.

-

-Thank you.

-That's quite a shocking statement

-to make...

-..that Wales is facing an epidemic

-of loneliness in its elderly.

-What has lead to this?

-Loneliness is an epidemic which

-faces many people on a daily basis.

-The number of older people in Wales

-has contributed to this.

-We have the largest number

-in the UK.

-There are more people

-living into their 80s.

-A lot of people move

-from rural Wales to the cities...

-..and lose touch

-with their families.

-You have a large number

-of new people in Wales...

-..due to the number of people

-who move to the country.

-Older couples may lose

-their partner...

-..and that contributes

-to loneliness.

-Technology contributes

-to these statistics too.

-Everyone is on a mobile phone

-these days.

-I passed around 20 people

-on their phones today.

-They were not driving

-and speaking on their phones.

-People used to know

-their neighbours...

-..but this isn't the case anymore.

-People also used to call in to say

-hello, but this doesn't happen.

-Loneliness can lead to depression.

-Feeling lonely can lead

-to health problems...

-..such as heart problems

-and high blood pressure.

-There is also a link between

-loneliness, depression and suicide.

-You feel unwanted and uneeded.

-Thousands of lonely people

-are watching the programme now.

-You are company to people

-who are watching at home.

-I ask them and they say

-Prynhawn Da is company for them.

-It is a comfort for them.

-There are also people

-who care for their partners...

-..and they don't have the chance

-to go out and speak to anyone.

-There are also people

-who can't hear.

-They lose their confidence

-and their self worth.

-What is the solution, Lyndon?

-The answer is that we go back

-to the old way of having groups.

-The Welsh Local Government

-Association...

-..believe that the strain

-on local council budgets...

-..puts a burden on services

-that offer support to older people.

-Age Cymru want to work with

-transport, housing, health care...

-..and voluntary organizations...

-..to provide practical and emotional

-support to combat loneliness.

-Age Cymru want to arrange groups

-to get people together.

-All communities can get together

-and make a luncheon club.

-That will help to reduce the

-number of people who feel lonely.

-Those who aren't able to go out,

-will need to contact Age Cymru.

-We can help them.

-There was loneliness in 1950s.

-There was a miners club

-in a specific area...

-..and they were willing to help.

-I went to a house in Waunarlwydd

-and I was told to close the door.

-This old woman was depressed...

-..it was her house.

-I went in

-and there was a big parrot.

-He was the one that told me

-to sit down.

-He had been taught by the old miner.

-The old woman was smiling.

-Pets can be help to stop loneliness.

-Don't buy parrots!

-Don't rush out to do so!

-Details are on the website.

-We need more volunteers

-at Age Cymru.

-We want to call people to help.

-Don't forget our special

-Mother's Day competition.

-We promise the luxury hamper

-will be with your mother by Sunday!

-All you have to do is answer

-this simple question:

-Who is the famous mother

-of Harper, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz?

-Floral prints will be one

-of the big themes this season.

-Lowri Steffan shows us how to

-incorporate the look into our homes.

-Welcome to the programme, Lowri.

-Thank you.

-Mari is matching the theme.

-I'm going to be looking at the

-fashionable style to the home.

-We've seen a lot of floral prints

-in clothes...

-..and homeware now has the trend.

-Laura Ashley had the strong

-floral look in the 1980s.

-It has come back.

-Let's start with the bowl.

-The bowl is 36 from Laura Ashley.

-It's 32 for this Laura Ashley jug.

-The look is classic.

-You may only want a small touch

-of floral print.

-These are perfect.

-They will look great

-with natural tones.

-Next, we have an item from

-www.catrinsaywell.co.uk

-This is very modern.

-Catrin is an artist.

-She has recently graduated.

-The lampshade is 28.

-Catrin also makes tea towels.

-This is a strong look

-and the colours are great.

-One piece would look wonderful

-in a bedroom.

-I wanted to show a new designer

-who is following the trend.

-Next, we have lighter floral prints.

-The colour pallete

-is also lighter here.

-It's 5.99 for this box

-from TK Maxx.

-The lavendar and mint colours

-are great.

-You can continue with the colour

-pallete with the next item.

-The cushion is 15

-from Marks and Spencer.

-It has the tapestry effect.

-The next look is old fashioned.

-You team two techniques in this.

-Marks and Spencer that costs 29.50.

-The luster pink colour is wonderful.

-You could have a collection.

-We have a lot of cushions.

-The images are strong.

-It's 5.99 for this cushion

-from TK Maxx.

-The velvet material is wonderful.

-This is a strong look.

-I love large cushions.

-The throw is 45 from Dunelm.

-The mustard colour is wonderful.

-These flowers are 49.99

-from TK Maxx.

-You think it costs a lot, but

-you get the flowers and the vase.

-I've got a good tip.

-If you have fake flowers,

-buy the diffusers...

-..so that you have a natural aroma

-around the house...

-..and people are attracted

-to the flowers.

-Next, we have a bright look.

-The colour pallete is great.

-This is a summer look.

-You can combine

-a combination of styles.

-You would need to team it

-with another strong colour.

-The chair is 39.99 from TK Maxx.

-The style has a touch of the 1970s.

-Finally, we have two pots

-from TK Maxx.

-The smaller of the two pots

-is 12.99 from TK Maxx.

-These are great.

-You can mix the look

-with so many things.

-There are also picnic dishes

-available.

-You don't need too much

-with this look.

-The picnic season is coming.

-We can look ahead to it.

-After the break, we hear about

-a new campaign from Stonewall Cymru.

-Join us in a few minutes.

-Welcome back to Prynhawn Da.

-In a moment...

-..we meet an active member

-of the Ammanford Merched y Wawr.

-Ellie Jones reveals the importance

-of some of these items.

-Stay tuned for all this and more.

-Next, we're joined by Mabli Jones

-from Stonewall Cymru.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-Today, Mabli joins us

-to discuss a new campaign...

-..and you want to chat about

-the importance of screening...

-..for lesbian and bisexual women.

-A story came out in the news

-last week.

-It involves a lot of research.

-Lesbians and bisexual women

-in relationships with other women...

-..think they don't need a cervical

-screening test but this is not true.

-Lesbian and bisexual women

-should have regular smear tests.

-They are twice more likely to

-contract diseases and so on.

-Some doctors tell women

-not to bother...

-..but you need to be screened.

-You should be screened

-every three to five years.

-We've provided information on the

-NHS website about this matter.

-Only one in 20 doctors have been

-informed about healthcare...

-..for the LGBT communities.

-Sexual health and education

-is back on the agenda.

-Stonewall Cymru, NUS Wales,

-the Terrence Higgins Trust...

-..and other organizations

-are all busy campaigning.

-We're campaigning to ensure

-that LGBT-inclusive...

-..sex and relationship education is

-mandatory on the school curriculum.

-The Welsh Assembly

-has been involved.

-It's vital that young LGBT people

-learn about healthy...

-..and safe sexual relations.

-They need to be educated

-about using the Internet safely.

-It also covers matters that affect

-LGBT individuals.

-There's a lack of information

-for LGBT people...

-..about relationships.

-When are children introduced

-to sex education?

-Young people tell us that have

-biological details...

-..about relationships.

-They don't have information about

-having healthy and safe relations.

-This information can be passed on to

-children about respecting themselves

-Stonewall have a lot of events

-organized for the summer.

-Stonewall Cymru has events with the

-Urdd and the National Eisteddfod.

-There are three Pride festivals

-around Wales.

-event this year.

-There's also one in Bangor and also

-Cardiff at the end of the summer.

-Stonewall Cymru also wants LGBT

-people to fill in a special survey.

-for the LGBT community in Wales.

-and education in the community.
