Living a Life

We help people receiving care in their home (in the Vale of Glamorgan) do things they enjoy such as chess, gardening, listening to music, birdwatching or whatever they like to talk about or do. We do this by finding people who share their interests, likes and dislikes - 'Soulmates' - who can talk about and do things with them that they both like and enjoy.

No grants to this charity appear in 360Giving data.

Only funders that publish their grants to 360Giving are included, and many do not. These are amounts funders awarded, which can differ from what the charity received in a given year, so they are shown apart from the accounts figures above.
