Cyfle Cymru is an out-of-work peer mentoring service supporting people aged 16 and over in recovery from substance use and/or mental health challenges to take positive steps towards education, training, volunteering and employment. Our team provides friendly, one-to-one support focused on building confidence, developing skills and exploring meaningful opportunities at a pace that feels right for each person. Peer Mentors draw on their own lived experience of recovery and mental health to offer practical guidance, encouragement and understanding. We can help with identifying goals, accessing qualifications or work experience, preparing for job searches and settling into new opportunities. Cyfle Cymru works with individuals to unlock potential, open doors and support lasting, positive change.

Once a referral is received, a member of the Cyfle Cymru team will review the information provided and make contact with the individual to discuss their needs, goals and current circumstances. We will explain the support available, answer any questions and agree the most appropriate next steps. Where suitable, the person will be allocated to a Peer Mentor who will work with them on a one-to-one basis to create a personalised action plan. This may include support with confidence building, training, volunteering, employment goals or signposting to other services where needed. If Cyfle Cymru is not the right service, we will aim to provide guidance on alternative support options.
