Our projects and programme are funded by the Community Fund by the Big Lottery Wales and supported by the European Regional Development Fund through Welsh Government.
By directly involving the community in the design and delivery of our projects we can link them into a variety of different support networks allowing them to access the help and advice they need to solve problems, overcome barriers, improve health and wellbeing, gain confidence, and move forward with their lives.
We work restoratively which means that we believe people are the experts in their own lives.
