📢School Uniform Update📢
Following the uniform giveaway at Pontardawe Library, there are lots of local school uniform items left that are still available.
If you’re in need of any school uniform, please let us know what you require and we can see if it is available 💛
Please note: There are no longer PE kits available.

Got your GCSE results and off to college or sixth form?🎉

Here’s something to make the move a little easier - you might be eligible for £40 a week through the Education Maintenance Allowance.

EMA helps cover everyday essentials like travel, lunches and study supplies so you can focus on this next chapter.

📣 HELP US REACH MORE PEOPLE! 💙
At Cariad, our aim is to support as many children, young people and families in our community as possible. But to do that, we need to reach as many people as possible!
One of the easiest ways you can help us is by inviting your friends and family to follow our page. The bigger our following, the further we can spread the word about the support, services, events and opportunities available through Cariad. 💙
👉 How to invite your friends:
Go to our Cariad page.
Click the three dots (…) near the top of the page.
Select “Invite friends.”
Choose the friends you'd like to invite, or select Invite all if that option is available.
Hit Send Invites! 🎉
It only takes a minute, but it could make a huge difference to someone who needs our support.
Thank you, as always, for helping us grow and reach the people who need us most. 💙
Please invite, share and spread the word! 🫶

Now that we're well into the summer holidays, many families will be starting to think about getting everything ready for the new school year.
Thanks to the incredible success of our Backpack Appeal and the generosity of our amazing community, we have some fully equipped backpacks and school supplies still available 🎒 ❤️
If you, or someone you know, is due to start secondary school and could benefit from a fully equipped backpack, or simply needs essential school items such as pens, pencils, rulers, or other stationery, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
We're here to help make the start of the new school year a little easier. Everything will be provided in complete confidence, so please feel free to message us privately or pop into the centre.
Thank you once again to everyone who donated and helped make this possible 💛
