About Red Community Project
Our mission is to bring people together and help build stronger communities. It’s straightforward grass roots stuff really. We love the fact that one of Swansea’s goals is to be a city where everyone matters because that’s just what we think too. Every person is important!
Red Community Project is the umbrella for a whole range of community led activities and projects. Since 2001 we have been based in our building in Mumbles. The shape of our current projects means we are now predominately working from our Wellbeing Hub in Linden Church, West Cross. Our vision hasn’t changed, just our location.
Our projects are varied and currently include a weekly Baby and Toddler group, weekly West Cross Foodbank and Warm Space, termly wellbeing lessons in our cluster primary and secondary schools, Parenting Workshops, Holiday Playschemes, weekly Community Breakfast, monthly Community Meal, weekly Community Fit, weekly Yoga for Health a Dementia Resources Library, Period Poverty Resources, and three weekly sessions of Musical Memories Choir for people living with dementia and carers delivered in West Cross and Manselton.
Maybe one of the words that best sums up what Red Community Project is all about is shalom. It’s one we’ve borrowed from Hebrew culture and it’s pretty difficult to translate into English in less than a paragraph! The nearest we can get are words like wholeness and completeness.
it’s about well being.
And not just on the outside but on the inside too.
In hearts and spirits.
It’s about peace,
health,
safety,
soundness
and harmony.
We like the idea of possibility and we are excited by what is yet to be! Inspired by faith, run for and by people of all faiths and none, and energised by hope we believe that Red Community Project can be a place of discovery, development and shalom.

Fair Trade and Sustainability
Whether its fruit juice, chocolate, peanut butter, pasta, rice, jam or rubber gloves there are all sorts of fairly traded products regularly used by Red Café. Producers in poor countries receive a fair and stable price or wage for their goods. So buying Fair Trade is a way of doing something to bring about a better, more generous world. Now that's something we think sounds worth doing.
