• To be a ‘Supported Business’ by providing employment opportunities to disabled, disadvantaged and young people, providing them with skills and qualifications to further their careers.

Over the past two years, we have undertaken customer engagement sessions, events and completed many questionnaires, surveys and feedback forms at Heol Chwarae Rol - Role Play Lane, where families from the local community fed back about their current financial situation, discussed the rising costs of petrol, energy bills and food bills and discussed the hardships that they currently face, particularly facing ALN families. They contributed to ideas about what they would like to see for their families at the venue (Role Play Lane), and high on their priority was well-being and mindfulness sessions, craft and music sessions, ALN sessions and family events such as family bingo, quizzes and film evenings. 

We regularly collaborate with other like minded organisations to enhance sessions and offer more support, such as:

Interlink Wellbeing Team; We are part of Interlinks ND group; Inspirational Futures; The Behaviour Support Hub; Fitmuma; Paint Love Bake; Noes to Toes Yoga; Nature's Printmaker; Sunshine Support; Sunshine/Mini Movement and many more!

We also work with Trivallis supporting a local community and work with Coleg Y Cymoedd to support their students.

We have several volunteers who help us and are signed up with Tempo Time Credits as a thank you for their time.
