We work with vulnerable young people to improve their access to services and provide them with a safer future.
Safer Wales Inclusive Service (SWIS) is a project for girls aged between 11- 18 years old. We provide one-to-one and group work focused on encouraging positive lifestyle choices.
We support young women aged 18-25 who are at risk of or currently involved in sexual or criminal exploitation.
Our Youth Service is dedicated to empowering vulnerable young people by providing the knowledge, skills, and support they need to make safe, healthy, and informed choices about their lives.
Our team works in a trauma-informed and holistic way, ensuring that every young person feels heard, valued, and supported.
We are proud to be working with Welsh Women Aid on the Children Affected by Domestic Abuse Change That Lasts project, which is available to children.
Through compassionate guidance, education, and community engagement, we create a safe and inclusive environment where young people can heal, grow, and reach their full potential.
We support is gender informed to create safe spaces for young women and girls which are delivered across the community and at our Young Adult Hub.
The activities are structured however we do not work to strict timetables and work on a needs led youth work approach.
Our activities include healthy eating, minimising stress, healthy relationships, child sexual exploitation and sexual health. These sessions are facilitated by Safer Wales staff and volunteer mentors.
