Do you work with children and young people in RCT, Merthyr Tydfil or Bridgend?
On the 1st September 2025, we will be implementing the first phase of our regional Exploitation Strategy. The second phase of the Strategy will focus on safeguarding adults from exploitation.
This sets out our commitment and priorities to prevent and protect children and young people at risk of exploitation and serious violence.
We are committed to working in collaboration with children, young people, their families and professionals.
When developing the Exploitation Strategy, we have worked in partnership, developing practitioners’ guidance, toolkits and safety plans with a clear focus on disruption.
These will be available on the Cwm Taf Morgannwg Safeguarding Board’s website soon.
Exploitation is Abuse and nobody can consent to be exploited. All children and young people have a right to be safe and protected from harm.
Together we can make a difference.
If you are worried about a child, young person or adult at risk, speak to your agency’s designated safeguarding person or your local safeguarding team.
If you have immediate concerns, you should always contact Police on 999.
We are offering members the rare opportunity to rent office space within the Voluntary Action Centre, and our annual cost is extremely competitive in order to support the Third Sector.
What we offer:
Make your organisation feel at home in a space designed to support the third sector!
The space itself is 43 m2, offering a large office with a small office/meeting room and storage cupboard.

The purpose of the Youth Led Grant Scheme is to fund exciting and worthwhile projects that create more volunteering opportunities for young people aged 14-25 within the Merthyr Tydfil area.
Please note that the Youth Led Grants will be expected to fund projects which contribute towards the seven Well-being of Future Generations Act (2015) goals. (Please note: not all projects will have to deliver against all seven goals).
The funding will only be allocated to projects that will be led by young people aged 14-25 and it will be the responsibility of the young people, with the help of the organisation to fill in the application form.
If you or the young people involved in your organisation can think of a project that would be of benefit to themselves and the community bearing in mind the 7 goals listed above, then please fill in the attached application form paying attention to the guidance column whilst completing.
Application form and guidance notes are available at :-
