Gwalia Saves the Day

Following a fire last Sunday 29th of July, at the Celfi Retail Outlet at Mansel Street, Gwalia Housing Association has very kindly donated the ground floor of 124/125 Walter Road as a temporary site for Celfi.

Most if not all of our stock has been destroyed. This is heartbreaking for our clients and members whose artistic efforts have all been lost. So everyone at Cyrenians, including Dragon Arts and Learning Members and ResaRec are very grateful to Gwalia for their timely and generous intervention.

Pictures of the extent of the damage can be seen by following this link.

Our mission statement

The unique and exciting new project exists to assist service users from our Dragon Arts & Learning Centre to exhibit their work for sale and commission; and to promote Res A Rec, who’s aim it is to make high quality crafts from 100% recycled waste materials.

The Celfi Gallery & Gift Shop is run with the help of volunteers from both projects and will work in partnership with other organisations also keen on getting people back into employment, training and further education such as SCVS, The WISE Project, The Genesis Project, A4E Project, Cwmbwla Day Centre and Swansea College to name but a few. The project will also offer our volunteers a chance to gain recognised NOCN qualifications in Retail, Communication Skills, Mentoring, Customer Service, Positive Volunteering and Confidence Building; whilst providing a high standard of training, support and supervision – helping our volunteer’s progress into employment and further education.

At the shop you will find a unique and diverse range of gifts on offer such as: Photography, Ceramics, Sculpture, Fine Art, Wooden Crafts, Lighting, Glassware, Jewellery, Key-rings and Greeting Cards.
