Communities Together

Communities Together helps to create local services to support people in Swansea to remain in their own homes.

This may include support with personal care, household chores, gardening or shopping.

Following successfully running in Clydach and Gower, the project has now expanded to cover the whole of Swansea.

Microenterprise Directory - Click here for a Directory of services provided by the micro-enterprises that Communities Together has helped to establish. From cleaning, to decluttering, to companionship; find a local microenterprise here.

We need your help to put us in touch with local people:

Who need support to remain at home, or
Who may be interested in providing support to people to remain at home (maybe who have volunteered during the pandemic, or who are looking for a change of career)

We will support people to work together to design and develop local care and support businesses.

We can offer:

Advice, support, funding and training to people wishing to set up their own business

Call Hannah on 07950 464965 or [email protected]

Call Iona on 01792 543639 or [email protected]

Meet the Direct Payments Team of Adult Social Services at Swansea Council - Direct Payments could help to cover the cost of care services that you or a loved one may need.

This project is funded by the West Glamorgan Regional Partnership Board and delivered in partnership between Swansea Council and Swansea Council for Voluntary Service
