Women Connect First

Women Connect First Empowering diverse women and communities in Wales. The organisation has moved on since, expanding its services.

Our History:

Women Connect First was established in March 2001 to empower Black & Minority Ethnic women in Cardiff and South East Wales by offering a range of services and training in order to improve livelihoods and employability. At present we cater for a wider client group and offer a range of services including advice, advocacy, counselling, and a wide range of training programmes and volunt

eering opportunities amongst others. We target disadvantaged, isolated and marginalised communities, who are experiencing multiple layers of depravation, discrimination and exclusion in accessing services and employment. "Our mission is to empower and improve the lives of disadvantaged communities in South Wales, to help them realise their full potential and make a positive contribution to Welsh society."

Our volunteers give so much to our organisation, without them we wouldn’t be able to do what we do. Without their time, passion and kindness, none of our work would be possible. Thank you to each and every one of you!

This week, we asked them why they volunteer, these are some of their answers:

What a wonderful day for our Golden Years group in beautiful Swansea! ☀️

We enjoyed exploring the museum, taking a relaxing stroll along the promenade, and spending time by Swansea Beach in the sunshine.

The day was filled with laughter, friendship, and great conversations as we discovered more about our local heritage, culture, and history together. Creating special memories and enjoying time as a community makes days like these truly meaningful. 🌊😊
