What we do
Cardiff Small Good Stuff does two things:
We link people who need care or support with local people who might help.
We help small organisations that offer care or support. We provide them with information, publicity and access to a friendly network.

What we believe
We're the friendly website that believes:
People want care and support at times and in ways that suit them.
Local people helping other local people is good for everyone and for communities.
Very small organisations can offer great care and be imaginative and responsive.
Very small organisations struggle to tell people what they can offer (they don’t have huge marketing budgets like the big guys).

Community micro-enterprise project in Cardiff
This partnership with Cardiff Council, through funding from UKSPF, supports people to develop community micro-enterprises that offer increased choice of personal care and support in the community. This could include things like practical help around the home and help with getting up and ready for the day. We’re working alongside partners to identify and support people interested in establishing their own community micro-enterprises. As part of the project, we have developed a directory to showcase community enterprises in the local area.
Quote from Jane Thomas – Director, Adults Housing & Communities:
“We are delighted to be working with Community Catalysts to develop a community micro-enterprise scheme. This is a real opportunity to increase the choice available for people who need care and support while also creating flexible job opportunities for people who want to give back to their local communities”.
If you’re thinking about working for yourself, contact your local Community Catalyst, Sam Walker on sam.walker@communitycatalysts.co.uk, or 07787 436199.
