There's more than one way in

Whether you are a parent looking for something for your child, an organisation wanting to work together, or someone with a skill worth sharing, there is a route in.

Each route below opens a different form, because a parent and a commissioner should not be asked the same questions. All of them are short.

Six ways in

  • FOR PARENTS AND CARERS

    Find or join a programme

    Our programmes run in community venues and schools across Rhondda Cynon Taf. Tell us a little about your child and we will let you know what is running, when it starts and whether it is a good fit.

  • FOR PROFESSIONALS AND NEIGHBOURS

    Refer a young person

    If you work with a young person who would benefit, or you have simply noticed someone who might, tell us enough to start a conversation and we will take it from there.

    Please keep a child's personal details out of the form. We pick that part up with you directly.

  • FOR ORGANISATIONS DELIVERING LOCALLY

    Partner with Benzone

    We work alongside schools, services and community groups rather than in place of them. If you are delivering something locally and our work sits next to yours, we would like to hear how.

  • FOR INDIVIDUALS, BUSINESSES AND FUNDERS

    Donate, or fund our work

    Give once or monthly as an individual, sponsor an opportunity as a business, or fund a programme as a grant-maker. Early support is the hardest kind to fund, because the crisis it prevents never becomes a headline.

  • FOR ANYONE WITH SOMETHING TO TEACH

    Share your skill

    You do not need a teaching qualification. You need something you know how to do, and a couple of hours to show someone else how to do it.

  • FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO GIVE TIME

    Volunteer

    Sessions need more than facilitators. Setting up, helping at the table, sorting materials, being a steady adult in the room. Tell us what you can offer and when, and we will tell you honestly what is available.

What happens after you get in touch

  1. You send a short form

    Each one asks only what we need to reply properly. None of them asks a child for anything.

  2. We come back to you

    Usually within a few working days, by email, or by phone if you would rather.

  3. We talk it through

    What you are hoping for, what we actually run, and whether the two meet.

Stay connected

Get Benzone updates, free resources, programme opportunities and practical ideas for supporting children's confidence, wellbeing and belonging.

Not often, and never for anyone else's benefit. Leave whenever you like.

We use your address only to send you these emails. We don't sell it or pass it on. How we handle your information.

Booking for a school or a group?

Formats, timescales, how sessions are safeguarded and what we report back are all set out on the commissioning page, along with the form that starts it.

Schools and organisations

Still not sure where you fit?

Tell us what you are trying to do and we will point you at the right route. If another organisation would serve you better, we will say so.
