Vision 21 (Cyfle Cymru) is a Welsh based charity that has worked systematically for 21 years in Cardiff (1987 -2009) and through its extensive networks and partnerships across Wales, to provide innovative and responsive vocational training, personal development and employment opportunities for people with learning needs. We have operational bases in Cardiff, Newport and the Vale of Glamorgan and have supported developments in Monmouth, Caerphilly, Rhondda Cynon Taff, Blaenau Gwent, Ceredigion, Carmarthen, Port Talbot and Pembroke. Vision 21 (Cyfle Cymru) currently offers opportunities for over 350 training sessions each week with a choice of 16 different community based vocational training projects. Many beneficiaries have gained employment or volunteering outcomes, whilst others have moved through to embrace further life-long learning opportunities that once again may lead to employment options becoming a reality for them as well. All have been provided with supportive life-enhancing opportunities that have been designed and delivered to provide for individual, personal skills development that can be transferred throughout a range of applications.
