You may have seen that we recently were winners at the Social Business Wales Awards 2023, winning the ‘Social Enterprise in the Community’ category! We took our award around to all of our groups so that we could share it with our members, who are the reason we do what we do. 🥂

We've really enjoyed having Isobel volunteering with us in our Cowbridge groups over the summer, and it was a lovely treat to hear her play her violin for us before she went back to Sixth Form. Thank you Isobel, and good luck with your A Levels!
