Welcome to
Shift Together C.I.C
SHIFT TOGETHER C.I.C is a not-for-profit social enterprise, working hard to deliver free mental health support groups within the communities of South Wales. Founded in 2021 and based in the Rhondda Valleys, SHIFT is providing mental health support both in person and online – connecting communities and creating a sense of belonging. Eliminating stigmas surrounding mental health is at the very core of what we do and always will be.
Our vision is for SHIFT support groups to be as everyday as going to the gym, shopping, or down the pub. Our aim is to put a SHIFT support group on your doorstep – we ALL deserve easy, inclusive access to mental health support. Through psycho education we work to help raise self-awareness and encourage the sharing of lived experiences between group members – at SHIFT we believe in connecting with others to reconnect with ourselves in order to experience a richer more fulfilling life.
We encourage exploring, protecting and maintaining good mental health within a trusted, safe environment. We believe that with authenticity, compassion and community our SHIFT members can gain friendship, self-respect and optimism for their futures.
Our groups and more
This has been an exciting first few years of growth for us at Shift Together, thanks to the generosity of funders and the support of the community. We increased our Mental Health Support Groups in the following communities: Pentre, Cwmparc, Pontypridd, Ferndale, Porth, Penygraig, and online via Zoom.
We had two Cook, Save, Share groups up and running, and our popular Art Workshops returned every month.
Last summer, we hosted our Shift Summer Fundraiser in Pentre and raised vital funds to continue our important work. We are looking forward to another fundraiser this summer, so keep your eyes out for our social media posts.
Our new timetables are regularly updated on our Facebook page, and you can book your space or join the waiting list.

Our Cook, Save, Share project
For 15 months, our members came together to cook great food, learnt to save money, and shared meals. We helped people make connections, find support, and grow in confidence with meal ideas and preparation.
This popular group will return monthly, starting in September, on Wednesdays each month.
Our next Cook, Save, Share group is now at our new venue, Pentre Comrades Club, on Wednesday 8th of October, from 1 pm until 3 pm
🎨 FREE Art Workshop: Making in the Moment 🎨
📍At Old Age Treherbert Hall, CF42 5BG
🗓 Thursday 6th November 2025
⏰ 2 – 4 pm
What happens when we make art without worrying about the outcome?
How can creativity help us slow down, play, and connect with others?
Join us for Making in the Moment — a relaxed 2-hour art workshop led by artist Harriet Fleuriot. We’ll begin with simple guided exercises to spark ideas and get into the flow of making, before moving into free creative time using a variety of materials.
Each session is different, and all art materials are provided.
This workshop is about the process, not the product — a chance to unwind, explore your creative side, and meet others in a friendly, welcoming space.
No previous experience is needed; everyone is welcome!
This workshop is seated and can host up to 8 people.
