Chair’s Charity
Each year, the current Chair is invited to select up to two charities to support. The Council strive to raise awareness of each charity’s cause, and raise funds throughout the year at various events.
Club F.O.D Cymru – Torfaen Pride
Celebrating Diversity Across Torfaen.
Club F.O.D Cymru’s focus is to prevent and reduce social isolation within the LGBT+ Community. We do this through organising a range of events and activities. This includes Torfaen Pride, which takes place on the first Saturday of June every year.
Hope GB
Enriching lives affected by autism.
Autism, or Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC), is a complex developmental condition often diagnosed in early childhood. It affects communication, relationships, and how individuals perceive the world. Around 67 million people globally are diagnosed, with many more undiagnosed or misunderstood. Hope GB offers support, guidance, and encouragement to anyone impacted by autism.
