The service has a dedicated Youth Mentoring team that works one to one with young people 16-24 to help them achieve their employment, education and training goals.  Youth Mentors can help with CV writing, job searching and applications, interview prep and help to explore training and further education.  Financial support is also available (subject to eligibility) to help young people get into work.

The team has several bespoke projects that support young people depending on their individual circumstances:

Who we support

Anyone in Cardiff and the Vale, can access free, confidential help and information directly or through a professional referral to CAVDAS.

• Adults

• Over 50’s

• Young people

• Families and Concerned Others

We facilitate Creativity for Wellbeing projects, sessions and training in Music and Voice, Visual Arts and Crafts, Dance and Movement, Drama, Creative Writing, Photography, Film, Digital Storytelling, and Animation. 

We feel that there needs to be a wider recognition of the impact and benefits that the arts, nature and creativity can bring to mental and physical wellbeing. We offer a strengths-based, person-centred approach, with the focus on wellness. The aims of the sessions are to provide a meaningful focus, to increase self confidence, to build self esteem, to increase self awareness, encourage expression, develop interpersonal skills, increase activity, create social networks, to increase resilience and to improve wellbeing. 

We prioritise working with people with low self confidence and self esteem, with people living with mental health issues, experiencing anxiety or depression, with people who are lonely, isolated or marginalised, with people who are experiencing loss, change, poverty, and other difficult experiences in their lives.

We also offer creative collaborative approaches for Community Development, working with groups, organisations and communities to create opportunities for positive change.

Our Community Volunteering Team encourages people to give back through volunteering in their community.  We help citizens to feel more active, social, engaged, and improve their wellbeing.  Volunteers get involved in many ways including running and supporting community activities (such as Tai Chi, craft groups, children’s activities), helping the smooth running of Hub and Library services (by helping staff to greet the public, shelve books and signpost to services), and by befriending and helping unpaid carers as part of our Caring Friends project.  We support our volunteers by arranging regular meetings with their mentors, providing ongoing training where needed, organising celebration and social events, and issuing Tempo Time Credits.

We’re a non-profit organisation that supports young people who self-harm and promote creative, positive ways to help them deal with the bad days.

What do we do?

We’ve been running workshops in schools, colleges & youth groups across Wales & South West England since 2014.

We continually adapt and improve the service we provide, based on the feedback from the young people we work with. We believe that a service user led approach is the most e!ective way to support those who are struggling.

Contact Us – Heads Above The Waves

For almost 50 years, Rubicon has delivered relevant, inspiring, creative and inclusive dance sessions to people from all walks of life. We lead dance sessions for people and communities from across Cardiff, Newport and the Vale of Glamorgan and have built a strong, nationally recognised reputation for our ability to lead dance sessions for those who can often be excluded from dance. We believe that no one should be prevented from participating in a dance session whatever their background or circumstance.

Our work supports a range of people, including children, adults, schools programmes, patients in hospitals, stroke survivors, those living with disabilities, older people and early years  Our dance practitioners are highly skilled, experienced and versatile and are able to lead appropriate, enjoyable and beneficial sessions starting where participants are at whether that is a teenager who is reluctant to participate in a dance session to a child, adult or older person who finds themselves in hospital.  

We believe in consistency of provision and trust and strong relationships have built over many years. We have led weekly dance sessions in our local school Adamsdown Primary for 40 years which is a unique partnership with thousands of children having participated in the sessions. We have second and third generations of the same family attending sessions with Rubicon.

Our base has been in Adamsdown since 1983 and it’s an area where we feel we belong and that our work is most useful in and also that we know our local community well. We also have a development programme across Cardiff, Newport and the Vale of Glamorgan where Rubicon dance practitioners lead sessions in schools, hospitals, care homes and community venues. We are building participation numbers back up since COVID but currently work with just under 1,000 participants weekly. Our youngest ever participant was six weeks old and our oldest one hundred and six.
