Community is at the forefront of all thoughts of Generation Rhondda.

By connecting people to our work, it allows us to reach people on the cusp of society.

Feedback
“I have collaborated with the team at People and Work over the last year and together, we have worked with International Student Families who are subject to No Recourse to Public Funds. They have helped in my campaign for Free School Meals for the families by helping to support the students and their dependants.
The team have attended events along with other agencies such
as Citizens Advice, Interlink and Churches, to provide a CV and job search
support. The team have been involved in meeting with politicians and as
Foodbank, along with our other trusted partners, we value their contribution to
helping those in need and influencing social justice change.”
James also helps me out anytime I am stuck, he is always at the end of the phone. So for the after school club if I have been called away at the last minute I can call him up and he will take my place and the club still goes ahead, so if they going to dodgeball he will take the kids to dodgeball. There are other staff I could call but with James there is the advantage that he's got Tom and Ethan two and they could do the coding. So there are more people who can help if I call James.
