Foothold Cymru will use the £18,000 to develop an outdoor learning centre in the heart of Llanelli.
Over 30 local craft vendors, live entertainment from Llanelli Chamber Choir and free family activities!
The Bright Sparks team headed into Llanelli town centre to host this event!
Available to all those that book a home visit with our team during December!
We are made up of a team of dedicated and passionate people all supporting communities and individuals to thrive and reach their potential. We are also supported by a team of brilliant volunteers who make it possible for us to achieve all that we do.
For over 30 years we've been there for those who need support with the thing's many of us take for granted – food, clothing, education and employment. We focus on what's important to the people of West Wales and we work with communities to make changes where they're needed.
We have the privilege of collaborating with wonderful people, many of whom like to share their stories and experiences of their time with us. We are committed to creating an environment where their voices are heard and appreciated.

“The hands-on nature of the Bright Sparks 2 course has been very enjoyable. I have liked taking apart the old tech and then putting it back to together. I like knowing that the items I help to repair are going to a new home for someone that needs it. This project has increased my skills in tech repair as well as my knowledge of the environmental impacts of tech disposal."

Dwein is a regular volunteer in the Foothold Cymru Library of Things. He has also engaged with the Seeing Llanelli community photography project. “They are a lovely, welcoming and inclusive group... I am learning how I can express my thoughts and observations through photography which was not something I had ever considered before. It is very enjoyable.”
