Empower Inspire CIC Sunflower Cafe

Empower Inspire CIC was my idea (Joanne Juliff), established in January 2022 to provide the social support that was badly needed after the Covid pandemic. The purpose of the organisation is to 'Promote Inclusion and Reduce Isolation'. The organisation currently offers a Dementia (Sunflower) Cafe in Taibach, THREE Singing for the Brain groups in Margam, Cwmgwrach and Cwmavon and a parenting group in Pontardawe.

The three singing groups are now financially sustainable, and the Parenting group is run on donations and by a hugely valued volunteer. I'm now looking for support towards the costs incurred by the Sunflower Cafe from April 2025 to March 2026.

I KNOW that my groups are making a HUGE difference to people's lives - but it has become increasingly difficult to get funding to pay for what is needed on a weekly basis. This fundraiser is specifically to help me pay for the rent for the Sunflower Cafe. I'm looking to raise £1000 to cover the cost of rent for the year.

If you can afford to donate - rest assured EVERY penny will be spent on continuing this provision. If you would like any more information about the organisation or our groups - please don't hesitate to get in touch.
