Thank you for your interest in supporting
The Roots Foundation Wales
Every child and young person needs support, acceptance and love – roots – to grow and thrive in adulthood. For young care leavers, and children and young people in care – many of whom have experienced significant challenges – this support is even more crucial.
The Roots Foundation Wales provides essential services and activities to hundreds of care experienced children and young people, and their carers, in the Swansea area – and a community of love and support led by our team of dedicated staff and volunteers.
There are several ways that you can support Roots to continue our work. Please scroll down to see how you can support us or work with us.
Whether you donate, fundraise, become a volunteer, or sign up to our six-monthly newsletters – you’re helping us to raise awareness and provide support to young care leavers, and children and young people in care.
How we are funded
Our work is funded entirely by grants and voluntary donations. The money we receive goes towards funding specific projects and initiatives such as our Transition to Independent Living programme, activities such as school holiday activities and group support sessions, staffing costs and maintaining the centre itself.
Without the support of grant organisations and donors, Roots could not continue to provide the vital opportunities and community that we do to care experienced children and young people.
Thank you to all our kind supporters!
