Our Theory of Change

We turn local needs into real outcomes for young people in Cardiff. This page shows how our activities, evidence and values connect to create lasting impact.

The Need

Inner-city deprivation and child poverty limit opportunity.

Overcrowded housing affects study, rest and wellbeing.

Safe, welcoming spaces where confidence grows.

Negative peer pressure and risk of violence/gang exploitation.

Knock-on risks: exclusion, low attainment, unemployment, poor mental & physical health.

Our Mission

We provide hope and opportunity so young people can fulfil their potential and feel prepared—and excited—for life.
