For the past three years, CETMA has been a steadfast presence in the heart of Swansea, offering vital support to those most in need. Operating largely through self-funding, with occasional external assistance, the organisation has delivered emergency food, digital access, free SIM cards, clothing, financial guidance, and more—without barriers or judgment.
During the colder months, CETMA’s warm hub has served as a crucial refuge: a space to escape the chill, charge a phone, play games, and connect with others. The hub has welcomed individuals experiencing homelessness, job seekers, and even those in employment who still struggle to make ends meet.
“Every person who walks through our doors matters deeply to us,” said Elian Williams, the CETMA office manager. “We’ve seen how even the smallest act of kindness, a warm drink & a listening ear can change a life.”
However, CETMA now faces a critical financial issue. Without immediate funding, the organisation cannot continue to self-finance these essential services and will have to close within a month. To keep this lifeline alive, CETMA is calling on the community and supporters to contribute what they can.
A donation of just £5 can make a meaningful impact.
Supporters can donate directly via CETMA’s GoFundMe page: https://gofund.me/9690596e4
CETMA extends heartfelt thanks to everyone who has stood with them—and invites others to join in keeping Swansea’s most vulnerable supported and seen.
