The SAFE Foundation is a Cardiff-based charity committed to improving the lives of some of the poorest people and communities in the world. With a variety of projects taking place in the UK and overseas, our mission is to build a fairer, brighter and peaceful future for the world. 

This involves improving access to human rights; something we achieve through creating opportunities for those that need them the most. Transforming lives in Britain, we empower people to take control of their future, making a change to their own lives by helping others overseas. This is partly achieved through developing skills, attitudes and values. 

Fostering a community of caring and responsible people, our ethos is centred on welcoming and embracing cultural diversity, values and social justice. 

Our work in the UK

We support hard to reach, vulnerable people to fulfil their potential, and reconnect with society and the world. We work with people that have a history of drug and alcohol abuse, suffer with mental health problems, are experiencing family breakdown or have been caught up in criminal activity.

We get them involved in our projects that are supporting people around the world. Acts of kindness have proven to develop confidence, happiness and positivity. By helping others, they are helping themselves - improving their mental health and wellbeing.

We are passionate about global education and building a community of socially responsible, caring people. We want people to understand the links between their own lives and the lives of others around the world. By looking at global issues like immigration, cultural diversity and consumerism we want to foster people that can make positive decisions and bring about change in their own lives.
