Key achievements highlighted in the 2024/25 PSB annual report include:

• The public sector has successfully reduced carbon emissions by 20%, exceeding initial projections.
• A comprehensive Early Years Strategic Plan was finalised and is being rolled out across agencies, with a notable increase in uptake of early intervention services.
• Flying Start services expanded into under-represented areas, and Health Visiting referrals improved, enabling earlier developmental support for families.
• A human rights-based approach has been embedded across Swansea's Strategic Equality Plan, and frontline staff have been trained to identify and respond to community needs.
• On climate, a draft Adaptation and Mitigation Strategy has been developed with extensive community input and workshops, setting the foundation for future action.
• A Community Safety Village event brought together residents and emergency services to tackle local safety issues, while targeted workshops and campaigns have already led to reductions in anti-social behaviour.
• The Creative Swansea network was launched, bringing together cultural sectors to boost local engagement, economy, and well-being.
• Governance structures were reviewed and enhanced to align regional priorities, with improved collaboration across strategic boards.
• A regional data portal was developed with support from Data Cymru, enabling better tracking of well-being indicators and improved decision-making.
