At Faith in Families, we’re passionate about creating brighter futures for children and families across Swansea Bay. Thanks to the outstanding generosity of Swansea-based Consumer Energy Solutions (CES), we’ve been able to extend vital support to those who need it most through our Cwtch Up Appeal.
CES recently donated an incredible £2,500 to our Cwtch Up Appeal, helping us provide essential resources to vulnerable families this winter. These funds have been instrumental in distributing warm winter coats, food parcels, and safe, welcoming spaces to families in need. This support ensures children can face the challenges of winter; and the school year ahead; with confidence.
Founded in 1999, Faith in Families operates three Community Cwtches across Swansea, offering a lifeline to families living in some of the city’s most deprived areas. Our services range from parent-and-toddler groups and 1-2-1 child therapy to outreach work and home support. Through initiatives like Wales’ first-ever Multibank, launched in 2024, we distributed over 140,000 care packages last year, transforming lives in our community.
CES Community Mission
CES has long been a valued partner in our mission. Their support extends beyond this winter—last year, they made a meaningful contribution to our Back to School with a Cwtch campaign, helping distribute hundreds of school backpacks filled with supplies for children from low-income families. Their continued commitment to our cause demonstrates the powerful impact of collaboration in creating lasting change.

Cherrie Bija, CEO at Faith in Families, shared her gratitude:
