We embrace different perspectives with open minds and open hearts. We seek out different ideas, welcome new solutions and ask questions, using critical thinking and reflection, to form our conclusions and guide our actions. We encourage authentic conversations and genuine debate, no matter how challenging. Thriving in our diversity and learning from our differences, we’re bound together with our community by a common purpose.

Kindness runs deep within our core. We believe this is what brings real, positive change. We care deeply and unconditionally for one another and foster a trusting, inclusive culture where everyone feels heard and valued. Kindness to people and planet is at the heart of everything we do.

Solidarity is, and has always been, a core part of our story. Since 1938, solidarity has enabled us to make a positive difference in times of war by providing sanctuary and working side by side with those who share our values and purpose. We act with warmth, respect, empathy and understanding. We’re not afraid to stand up to the status quo. We’re unified in our approach and actions, gaining courage and strength from each other and working together towards a fairer, more peaceful and healthier world.

By tuning into global issues, we enable the people of Cymru to connect with the world and each other. Through our community, volunteering and educational programmes, we bring together a breadth and diversity of people and organisations, both locally and globally, to help create change across the world.

We provide safe, welcoming and thought-provoking spaces to explore new ways forward with hope and confidence. By sparking important conversations, we create opportunities for everyone to have a seat at the table and be part of the solutions to many of the most important issues of our time. This creates opportunities for authentic listening, ideas sharing and tangible action in a way that’s free from barriers or bias.

Partnership is at the heart of our organisation. We firmly believe that everyone has valuable thoughts, skills and solutions to give and this is what drives our passion for collaboration and connection. By bringing together like-minded people in Cymru and across the world, we act as the link to a unique community of people and partners that are grounded in shared values and united by a shared commitment to positive change. We listen closely, support each other openly and inspire cooperation, unlocking our collective potential to shape policies and enable progress towards peace, human rights, social and climate justice.

We’re here to enable tangible, positive change. By shifting mindsets into action, we bring together communities to give everyone the chance to help make a difference in Cymru and the wider world. It’s this that drives every aspect of our work, and is a natural part of all our partnerships, projects, events and programmes. We believe in the power of connection, hope and collaboration to turn ideas into action, and inspire participation so everyone has the opportunity to contribute to a fairer, more peaceful & healthier planet.
