The Time to Talk day last Thursday (04/02/21) was a successful day with all four groups producing a high standard of work, with all four groups coming up with unique ideas to mark the day.
My group went for the approach of interviewing relevant people and getting their story on the theme of ‘bouncebacks’. Dafydd Jones spoke to Haverfordwest County manager Wayne Jones, this was appropriate as Wayne Jones works for the NHS as a mental health worker which meant he was in a great position to speak about an event like ‘time to talk.’
I was fortunate enough to conduct the second interview, interviewing Welsh Rugby journalist Simon Thomas. In 2018 Simon had a battle with cancer and he really opened up on his battle with cancer and about how his sense of humour helped him pull through the toughest of times. It was quite an emotional interview and I felt as if the questions were good as they allowed him to go in to detail and really open up.
I think I worked well in a team and did my assigned role to the best of my ability. We all pulled together as a group to try and find appropriate guests and think the guests we managed to find were perfect for Thursday’s event.

In terms of improvements, I think it would have been good to have had more views on the YouTube video as it currently only has 158 views which is a tad disappointing especially as the clips myself and Dafydd have posted on twitter have gained more views than that.
We’ve all done our best to spread the word and we’ve all shared clips on our social media pages to try and get more views on the video which we all worked hard and took part in to produce. There was a good reaction to the video however with people praising Wayne Jones and Simon Thomas for coming out and speaking to us about such a crucial topic.
