Cyfle Cymru: Empowering Communities through Engagement and Support
Cyfle Cymru is a community-focused project dedicated to providing support, education, and engagement opportunities for individuals across Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan. We offer a range of activities, events, and training sessions designed to help participants build valuable skills, gain workplace qualifications, and contribute positively to their communities.
Upcoming Summer Activities and Events
We have an exciting line-up of activities and events this summer, tailored to support personal growth and community involvement:

- 5th July 2pm-4pm: First Aid Training at the CAVDAS Building, Holton Road, Barry. Similar to the Cardiff session, participants will earn a certificate upon completion. Each month, we will offer different courses to help participants build up their workplace qualifications.
