The Cardiff Children, Young People and Families Network (CCYPFN) is a network of nearly 400 members of third sector organisations and community groups who work to benefit and improve the well-being of children, young people, their families and carers in Cardiff.
The network co-ordinates and maintains communication channels between the third and statutory sectors, supporting third sector representatives to various strategic groups across Cardiff.
The CCYPFN provides members with the opportunity to:
• find out more about the work of other third sector organisations in Cardiff;
• share information and best practice, and exchange ideas with colleagues both within and across sectors;
• be part of a collective voice for the third sector in Cardiff;
• campaign for better services and influence local, national and regional policy and strategies;
• raise issues and identify gaps in service delivery.
Free membership
Membership is free and opened to members of C3SC working with children, young people (aged 0-25), their families and carers in Cardiff. This can include national or regional third sector organisations’ local projects or offices if they are based in Cardiff.
