Zoe Groves, Trish D'Souza and I were delighted to take part in a #CommunityEngagement event on Thursday afternoon. Held in South Loudoun Place, Butetown, Cardiff and organised by Ethnic Minorities and Youth Support Team - EYST Wales with the help of lots of welcoming and helpful volunteers including Dorrett Evans, it very much encouraged and enabled great discussions concerning :
🗣 volunteering, networking, empowerment, employment opportunities and career development with attendees and stand holders including those from Working Wales, Careers Wales, Cyngor y Gweithlu Addysg | Education Workforce Council, HM Prison and Probation Service, Cwmpas (great to see you again Casey Edwards and to meet some of your team) and Llais Cymru.
🗣 initiatives such as Cardiff Council's Into Work Advice Service and Maximus which support people back into employment both of which are very much aligned with #GrowingAmbitions (a Blake Morgan LLP initiative) and our partnership with Working Wardrobe.
🗣 wider matters of importance that affect the community such as personal safety, drugs, crime and mental health with Cruse Bereavement Support and PCSOs representing the Neighbourhood Policing Team, South Wales Police.
Thank you for inviting us to attend Fateha Ahmed - wishing you equally successful EYST events in Swansea and Wrexham over the coming weeks. We look forward to continuing to working together in the community.
