Our purpose is to place young people aged 10-25 at the centre of our thinking, in order to help them fulfill their potential and empower them as individuals. Ieuenctid Tysul Youth is a voluntary youth organisation and registered charity based in Llandysul, West Wales. During the last 23 years, our purpose has evolved to provide a wide range of education and support services to young people irrespective of their race, gender, background or ability. The main focus of our work is to support young people through the transition to adulthood, from dependence to independence. We do this through a comprehensive programme of life skills training, emotional and personal development workshops, volunteering and workplace opportunities and community regeneration and inter-generational activities.Young people are encouraged to participate and to be actively involved in decision making processes and where possible to assume responsibility for organising and delivering the programme.Why the community needs usWe have overseen numerous community regeneration projects, strengthening community cohesion and improving local areas. Our Art in the park project saw the installation of handmade park benches and carved plaques to improve local green spaces. We have also installed tables, picnic benches, flower boxes and bins in an area that is well used by the community as a recreation area.We work closely with local residential homes and the elderly to reduce isolation and improve community cohesion.Our impact on the communityWe support over 100 young people and their families every year many of whom are severely disadvantaged, ruraly isolated and have poor access to support services and developmental opportunities. Many of our beneficiaries become volunteers and engage directly in giving something back to their community by helping others. We provide a safe environment where young people can develop and flourish,develop healthy relationships and improve their longer term life chances through positive role modelling.

To provide a safe secure environment for stroke survivors & their carer's to meet & socialise, listen to speakers or entertainers. Talk with their peers about their difficulties during recovery from stroke ,and exchange tips & hints to solve mutual problems that stroke presents. Because each stroke is unique there is no one fix for all. Myself has found being part of the group hugely beneficial in building my confidence again after the detestation of a major stroke caused by a severe brain haemorrhage. My difficulties are largely physical with mobility issues and having lost the use of my left arm/hand. .Others in the group have cognitive problems resulting alter thought processing which can be slowed down significantly. in addition there can be emotional changes and hidden neuropathic pain. The old saying " A problem shared is a problem halved.Why the community needs usWe offer a place for stroke survivors & their carer's to come together from with in the local community where they can be part of a group offering an escape from being isolated in their home where they could become depressed and suffer mental health issues on top of having to deal with day to day life living with stroke. Humans are social animals so benefit from being in a group rather than being in isolation. There is strength in numbers springs to mind, so, come be part of our diverse group.Our impact on the communityWhen I joined the group over 6 yr's ago, I had just separated from my then wife. Recovering from not just the effects of the stroke, I was dealing with living alone. For me this group was a lifeline and got me out and about instead of being isolated in a small flat living alone. I soon became involved in running the club using my IT and organisation skills, I had purpose once more. I soon realised I could help others through being part of the group. It literally changed my life. I felt useful.
