Women Connect First

Working to improve the lives of disadvantaged communities in South Wales targeting women from Black & Minority Ethnic communities in Cardiff.

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. The organisation has moved on since, expanding its services.

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 volunteering 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. "
