Supporting Ethnic Minority people across Wales
WE ARE EYST
About us
EYST Wales is a unique award-winning organisation that began its journey in 2001; conceived of and founded by Momena Ali and then constituted as EYST with a group of young ethnic minority people in 2005.
Since then we have expanded and grown organically and always in response to the needs of the communities we serve; from supporting ethnic minority young people to families and individuals of all ages Wales wide.
Our aim is to provide ethnic minority people with the opportunity to reach their fullest potential through holistic, targeted, and culturally sensitive programmes covering education, employment, health, community safety and cohesion. All underpinned by a vision where everyone can contribute, participate, and thrive in Wales.
