KIRAN Cymru family

Who are KIRAN Cymru?

KIRAN Cymru is a family of people forming a non-profit, non-religious grassroots organisation with an inclusive ethos, dedicated to enhancing holistic well-being. Our mission revolves around fostering intergenerational connections through the rich tapestry of Arts, Culture, and Heritage. Our driving force stems from the firm belief in crafting societies that amplify the cooperative and compassionate facets of human nature. Together, we strive to cultivate equitable, just, and interconnected ways of living that preserve familial bonds.

Recognising the pivotal role of Arts, Culture, and Heritage, we champion these elements as catalysts for actively uniting individuals from diverse backgrounds. We understand that the absence of human connection often leads to social isolation, impacting well-being and contributing to societal challenges such as depression, anxiety, and economic disparities. In an era where the rising cost of living impedes meaningful connections, our communities bear the brunt of this isolation.

Our efforts persistently revolve around mitigating social isolation and enhancing well-being, taking specific measures:
Engage: Through a series of intergenerational befriending activities rooted in Arts, Culture, and Heritage, we actively engage individuals from various walks of life.
Educate: Our commitment to actively involving diverse backgrounds fosters mutual learning and a broader social understanding.
Empower: By nurturing consistent connections among family, friends, and loved ones, we aim to instill confidence and resilience, enabling individuals to navigate uncertainties and crises.

Through our advocacy for interconnectedness, we lay the groundwork for a culture that mirrors the fundamental aspects of human existence: community, belonging, and sustaining connections with loved ones.

Human Connection

Human connections refer to the relationships, interactions, and bonds we form with other individuals. These connections can range from close personal relationships with family and friends to more casual interactions with colleagues, neighbors, or members of communities. The importance of human connections lies in their profound impact on various aspects of our lives:

Consistent and continuous human connections lead to strong social connections that form the fabric of communities and societies, promoting cooperation, empathy, and a sense of shared identity.

In essence, human connections are fundamental to our emotional, psychological, and physical well-being. They shape our identities, provide support during challenging times, and contribute to our overall happiness and sense of fulfillment in life.

KIRAN Cymru warmly welcomes individuals from diverse backgrounds, with a special emphasis on fostering inclusivity for those from Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities. Our organization is deeply rooted in community engagement, boasting members and trustees who represent the vibrant tapestry of our localities.

As a community-focused entity, our initiatives are carefully curated, organized, and led by individuals within diverse local communities. Our commitment to inclusivity and community empowerment drives every aspect of our activities, ensuring a rich tapestry of perspectives and experiences.
