Highlights

Cardiff City FC’s Foundation (CCFCF) programme
Cardiff City FC’s Foundation (CCFCF) programme works with young people to offer opportunities in sport, education and skill based learning – working with young people aged 8-18 on a one-to-one basis, helping young people access positive activities of interest to them, while attempting to influence positive behaviour change.

Single Parents Wellbeing
The Single Parents Wellbeing course was a game-changer for me in so many ways. Initially, I didn't have any expectations; I hoped to meet other single parents to be able to share experiences and be a source of support for each other. But, the course offered and gave me so much more.

Current highlights


Joan, Long Covid Peer Support ProjectNone of my friends or family had Long Covid or knew much about it previously. Joining the group has helped me realise I’m not alone, and that there are other people sharing similar experiences. Finding out there are other people in my boat has really benefitted my mental health.
Lora, Perthn Refugee ProjectThe group have the opportunity to share their experiences, which are often similar, and they can learn from each other and know they are not alone. We try to create a safe place, a place where people can talk, and we hope this is where the magic of healing can start to take place
