Faith in Families

FAITH IN FAMILIES

Faith in Families is transforming lives across Swansea Bay through our Community Cwtches & Multibank. We provide vital support to children and families facing challenges such as poverty, crisis, and trauma. Our wide range of services includes parent and toddler groups, 1-2-1 child therapy, parental & child support, outreach work & home support.

Established in 1999, Faith in Families has grown to encompass three community cwtches in the Swansea area. Each setting based in deprived areas of Swansea, aiming to provide help and support to families within the community. We also run Wales’ first multibank.

The community cwtch provides easily accessible opportunities for children, young people, & their families to change their lives for the better. All our staff are fully qualified & have a wide range of experiences working with children & families.

Clase Community Cwtch opened it’s doors in 2006. The cwtch works closely with local primary schools & partner agencies to offer a variety of groups & projects. We are commited to working with families & releasing the potential in this community. It’s a warm & inviting space for all of the community.

Teilo’s Community Cwtch first opened it’s doors in 2018. The community cwtch is both a community centre and a childcare facility, where we deliver bespoke childcare, adult learning services, and community sessions. We are committed to ensuring every child reaches their full potential.

Cwtch Mawr, which means ‘Big Hug’ in English, is Wales’s first Multibank – a community donations hub offering support for families experiencing poverty across South Wales, it provides essentials, such as warm clothes, hygiene products, school uniforms, and bedding donated by businesses, like Amazon, directly to those in need.
