C3SC - Cardiff Third Sector Council

There are plenty of ways to get involved in the city and support inclusivity, while learning more about the services of local groups. This month marks and there will be an event at Cardiff Central Library Hub to mark this - please see details below:

July is Disability Pride Month, and we're celebrating on July the 20th, between midday and 3pm, with a day of crafts, games activities. Plus, we'll be visited by author Gavin Clifton, who will be reading from his autobiography Cerebral Palsy And Me, and from his children's book Anya And The Enchanted Wheelchair!

Thank you to everyone who took the time to apply to the Cardiff Youth Led Grant 2026-27 funding round! The Panel will soon be reviewing all applications. This year, we've seen an increase in demand for youth-led projects and we look forward to supporting further experiences and provisions for young people to go forward.
