Power Up

Power Up is a young people’s wellbeing and social action project for those aged 10-25, living in Cardiff and The Vale of Glamorgan.

At Power Up we offer wellbeing support to young people experiencing challenges with their mental health. This includes 1-1 coaching sessions, the delivery of wellbeing programmes, and regular social groups.

Power Up takes a trauma and relationally informed approach to providing support, focusing on connection, community, and creativity.

Alongside providing a wellbeing service, Power Up also supports young people to create social change within their communities and within Wales.
