KIRAN Cymru is a non-political, non-religious grassroots community organisation open to everyone — with a special focus on individuals from lower socio-economic and ethnic minority backgrounds, including those with protected characteristics. We exist to amplify the voices of people with lived experience — whose stories often go unheard or unrecognised.

Our diverse team and service users include people from White British, Indian, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, Nepalese, African, Jamaican, Sudanese, Syrian, and Iranian backgrounds. Together, we speak multiple languages — including English, Welsh, Bengali, Hindi, Urdu, Dari, Farsi, and Arabic — allowing us to connect with communities meaningfully and effectively.

As a community-led organisation, we are powered by people, not hierarchy. Our Board, Executive Committee, and volunteers come directly from the communities we serve — individuals with lived experience of poverty, discrimination, and inequality. This ensures that our work remains authentic, accountable, and grounded in real life.

We operate year-round — 365 days a year — standing beside those most in need. Every programme we deliver is co-designed and co-delivered by people who face the very challenges we aim to address, ensuring that our support is accessible, relevant, and empowering.

KIRAN Cymru proudly works in collaboration with government bodies, public institutions, and partner organisations that share our values of equity, empathy, and inclusion. Together, we are building a Wales where every voice is heard, every person is valued, and every community can thrive.
