Family Group
Aurora Trinity Collective is a group of artists who are women, a network and space that is safe and inclusive for these artists and for their children, and a project that nurtures friendships and bonds. Our definition of women is including trans-women, intersex people and non-binary people who relate to the experience of being a woman in some way.

No woman should have to go through pregnancy, labour and birth on her own! We envision a world where every woman has access to the resources, she needs to feel healthy and empowered on the journey through pregnancy and into becoming a mother to a newborn baby. The Birth Partner Project provides volunteer birth partners who work in small teams to offer support and friendship to asylum-seeking and refugee women in the latter stages of pregnancy, throughout labour and birth, and the first eight weeks postnatally.
Coffee Morning
Blend is a weekly community coffee morning for refugees and asylum seekers. Running since September 2017, Blend has welcomed sanctuary seekers from 84 different countries so far. Each week we serve up delicious, homemade cakes alongside freshly brewed coffee and a range of teas. We provide a safe place to sit and chat, make friends and build community whilst also providing information, support and referrals to other local organisations and activities.
Support Session
Cocaine Anonymous is a fellowship for men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others recover from addiction. We come from various social, ethnic, economic, and religious backgrounds but what we have in common is addiction.
Family
A local Cardiff based project for refugee and asylum seeking children and young people, under the age of 18 years. The afterschool and family activity sessions are funded by BBC Children in Need. It is hoped that children will experience a greater sense of happiness, that they will build stronger friendships and that they will have opportunities to have more fun as a direct result of taking part in the project.
Community Kitchen Garden
Global Gardens are developing an organic community kitchen garden. We have an orchard, herb garden, soft fruit patch, a veggie plot and a chill out velodome. We are also soon to erect a polytunnel and greenhouse. Garden sessions are open to all and there are always a range of tasks to suit your energy. Plus every last Tuesday of the month we have a shared supper at the Embassy Cafe, Cathays Community Centre.
