Cwmbran Care Organisation Makes Key Acquisitions with Funding Deal
Cwmbran-based care service organisation Expanding Horizons has acquired Enable Care Services (South Wales) Ltd to expand its support service capabilities.
Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, Expanding Horizons provides a range of personalised support services for individuals living with learning disabilities and severe mental illnesses (SMIs) so they can lead fulfilling and rewarding lives.
The firm has used a portion of £3.25 million of funding from NatWest to support the acquisition of Enable Care Services, which provides support for residents at three care homes in South Wales – two in Cwmbran and one in Argoed. They will now join the Expanding Horizons portfolio.
The remaining funds will be allocated towards broader refinancing efforts as well as ensuring that Expanding Horizons and Enable Care have the necessary infrastructure in place to meet regulatory requirements.
In Wales, approximately 900,000 people live with a disability, representing 27% of the population, as reported by Public Health Network Cymru. This exceeds the UK average of 22%.
Ellis Jenkins, Director at Expanding Horizons, said:
'At Expanding Horizons, we care deeply about the quality of care our service users receive. We seek to not only support individuals but empower them to be the best versions of themselves.
'The fact that so many people in Wales are living with disabilities and severe mental illness underscores the critical need for tailored support which helps them gain or rebuild their independence. Residents of South Wales deserve the highest quality of care, and we are thrilled to announce the acquisition of Enable Care Services as we continue to grow and expand our network.
'NatWest has been exceptional throughout the process, demonstrating a deep understanding of our industry and our goals and we are incredibly grateful for their support.'
Neil Williams, Senior Relationship Manager at NatWest, said:
'The work that Expanding Horizons does is absolutely invaluable to its service users and is the exact sort of community benefit that we look to support at NatWest.
'We look forward to continuing our partnership and are excited to witness Expanding Horizon's continued growth and evolution.'

Mounjaro prices double as weight loss jab popularity soars
US-based Eli Lilly says a 5mg dose will nearly double from £92 to £180 from September 1, while a 15mg pen will rise from £122 to £330. A Lilly spokesperson said: 'Following a review, Lilly will increase the UK list price for Mounjaro (tirzepatide) from 1 September to address pricing inconsistencies compared to other developed countries, including in Europe. We have reached an agreement with the NHS to ensure continued supply and patient access." READ NEXT: Mounjaro could be available on prescription by Glasgow health board READ NEXT: Cumbernauld woman's surgery goal after Mounjaro weight loss The statement continues: 'While Lilly does not determine the prices that private healthcare providers set, we are working with them to maintain patient access. The UK was one of the first countries where Lilly launched Mounjaro, and our priority was to bring it to patients as quickly as possible during a time of limited supply of GLP-1 RA treatments for type 2 diabetes. 'At launch, Lilly agreed to a UK list price that is significantly below the European average to prevent delays in NHS availability." More than 1.5 million people in the UK are believed to be using weight-loss medication each month, with most buying the jabs from private pharmacies. Mounjaro users report surprising side effect - pharmacists share their tips — Bucks Free Press (@bucksfreepress) August 8, 2025 This comes as the Government has joined forces with Eli Lilly in a bid to tackle obesity. The move could see patients accessing care at pharmacies or by using online platforms. The £85 million programme from Eli Lilly and the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) has been designed to look at how obese patients can access weight management care more easily. This includes through community services, in pharmacies and online. Using these tools, eligible patients could be treated 'in a matter of months', according to Health Secretary Wes Streeting. Under the agreement, the Government will contribute up to £50 million in UK-wide investment. Meanwhile, Eli Lilly will back the programme with £35 million, and NHS organisations will be able to apply for a share of the funding. Recommended reading: Mounjaro warning as pens ruined by heatwave temperatures This comes as users are risking having to throw away perfectly good Mounjaro pens as they have overheated in the recent heatwave. Improper storage of Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro during a heatwave could destroy the active ingredient in these jabs, potentially wiping out their effects entirely, even if the medication looks completely normal. 'We recommend treating your weight-loss pen the same way you'd treat insulin or any critical medication,' says Danielle Brightman, Clinical Director at Numan. 'When in doubt, don't risk it. Speak to a healthcare professional and arrange a replacement.' 8 tips to protect Mounjaro and other weight-loss injections during hot weather Use a medical-grade cool bag. Transport your pen in a proper, insulated container designed for sensitive medications. Don't use improvised ice packs that might freeze the pen by accident. Never leave your pen in hot places. Even 10 minutes in a parked car or on a sunny kitchen counter could expose it to damaging heat if out of its delivery packaging or unrefrigerated. Always check the environment before setting it down. Store below 30°C once in use. Once opened and if not refrigerated, keep your pen in a shaded, ventilated area, away from heat sources, windows, and radiators. If you live in a flat or home without air conditioning, keep the pen in a bedroom or hallway that doesn't heat up from direct sun. Avoid storing near exterior walls if the property retains heat. Follow the usage timeline carefully. The storage instructions between medications. Wegovy after first use can last 6 weeks below 30 degrees then needs to be disposed of, whereas Mounjaro has a shorter time of 30 days below 30 degrees before needing to be disposed of. Stick to that timeframe, and if you're unsure whether it's still safe, consult your provider. Use a fridge thermometer at home. Fridge temperatures can fluctuate, especially in older models or over-packed shelves. A simple digital fridge thermometer can help ensure your pen is always stored between 2–8°C before first use. Planning to travel? Use airline-friendly cooling cases. If you're flying or taking long journeys, consider TSA-approved insulated medication pouches with cooling gel packs. Always store the pen in carry-on luggage, not checked baggage, as cargo holds can get hot or cold. Set storage reminders on your phone. If you're prone to forgetting where you left your pen, set daily reminders to check if it's stored properly, especially during heatwaves or while travelling. Don't store near appliances or steam sources. Keep pens away from kettles, toasters, ovens, dishwashers, and anywhere that might experience sudden heat or humidity, especially in small kitchens or shared spaces. Injections like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are now widely used across the UK for appetite control and sustainable weight management. But despite their growing popularity and increasing availability now through the NHS, most patients don't realise the strict temperature guidelines that must be followed to keep these drugs effective. 'We speak to patients every day who are using GLP-1s for the first time,' says Danielle. 'With temperatures set to soar again this summer, it's crucial we raise awareness about safe medication storage. Heat damage isn't always obvious, but it can have a huge impact on effectiveness and safety."

NatWest to replace Newport city centre ATMs
NatWest's Newport city centre branch will replace its external ATMs with new machines featuring the "latest fraud prevention technology" as part of a national upgrade programme. The ATMs, located on the left-hand side of the building, will also be more accessible, particularly for customers with hearing impairments. New tablet signage will also be installed. Harcroft Consulting, on behalf of NatWest, submitted the plans to Newport City Council, noting the existing ATMs on High Street are "no longer maintainable". The council granted permission under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the Historic Environment (Wales) Act 2023. The works must begin within five years from the permission date and must adhere to specific plans. The approval also mandates that the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments in Wales be notified before any demolition, allowing them time to record the structure. The development is required to comply with policies from the Newport Local Development Plan 2011–2026, including those related to general amenity, quality of design, and conservation of the natural, historic, and built environment. These changes are not expected to affect branch access or the surrounding public space during or after the works, according to the design and access statement submitted with the application. The statement also clarifies that all modifications to the existing apertures to fit the new machines will be carried out, and any disturbed finishes will be restored to match the existing building. The decision, issued on July 22, 2025, aligns with Section 96(2) of the Historic Environment (Wales) Act 2023. The approval notice also reminds the applicant that the decision does not substitute approval from other regulatory bodies such as Building Control or Highways. NatWest's ATM upgrade is part of a broader national programme aimed at enhancing the security and accessibility of their ATMs. The new machines are expected to provide a more secure and user-friendly experience for all customers, including those with specific needs. The existing machines have been deemed "end-of-life" and are no longer maintainable, necessitating their replacement. The move is in line with NatWest's commitment to ensuring all their ATMs are up to date with the latest technology and standards.
