Read full TGP Cymru Strategic Plan 2026|2030 >>
TGP Cymru stands at a pivotal moment. The growing pressures of poverty and mental health challenges experienced by young people and families results in increased necessity for our services. This rising demand requires a bold, modern strategic plan to ensure all children, young people and families across Wales are heard, valued and supported.
TGP Cymru is a leading children’s charity, Wales’ largest provider of statutory and community advocacy, a leader in restorative practice, and a trusted charity known for authenticity, compassion and impact. We deliver a broad range of services across Wales, including children’s advocacy, parent advocacy, participation services, Family Group Meetings, support for veterans and their families, work with Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities, support for Refugees and Asylum seeking young people, Communication Passports, and homelessness prevention through Team Around the Tenancy.
This breadth of experience and services positions TGP Cymru as a key contributor to national priorities around prevention, inclusion, early intervention and rights-based practice.
To develop this strategy we engaged directly with children, young people, parents, carers, staff, trustees and key partners across Wales. A combination of professional expertise, lived experience and practical insight from all areas of our work shaped every part of this plan.
We arrived at an overarching strategic aim:
To deliver high-quality advocacy, restorative family services and participation opportunities which ensure every child, young person and family in Wales can influence decisions affecting their lives.
These objectives outline how TGP Cymru will achieve our strategic aim:
We will strengthen governance through a diverse, skilled Board, transparent decision making and robust oversight. Trustees will receive training, monitoring and clear expectations.
Our workforce is central to our success. We will nurture a culture of wellbeing, reflective practice and trust. Staff value TGP Cymru’s supportive ethos, and we will protect and develop it.
We will modernise and streamline digital systems to improve efficiency, data security and staff experience. This includes strengthening digital safeguarding and ensuring ethical, rights based use of technology. Our investment will enable agile working and support high-quality service delivery across Wales.
We will sustain and grow our children and young people’s advocacy offer. We will work with Welsh Government, local authorities and key partners to further embed statutory advocacy in Wales.
Restorative practice remains a core strength of TGP Cymru and underpins all of our family services, including Team Around the Tenancy, Veterans and Families Services, Travelling Ahead, Asylum Rights Programme and Family Group Meeting Service.
We will deepen participation across all areas of our work. This includes youth advisory structures, parent participation groups, lived experience panels and accessible mechanisms for young people to influence decisions.
We will use evidence, research partnerships and policy engagement to drive wider change. As Wales enters a new legislative period, we will collaborate with universities and sector partners, produce accessible insight and ensure lived experience informs national strategies and reforms.
We will strengthen our visibility and ensure the public, partners and decision makers understand the breadth and impact of our work.
We will identify opportunities that align with demonstrated need and with our mission, values and strengths. This includes potential growth in education, ALN advocacy, mental health support, restorative approaches for adults and community based early intervention.
TGP Cymru enters the next four years with clarity, confidence and shared purpose.
We recognise the pressures ahead – rising need and financial constraints – but we also recognise the strength and resilience of the communities we support.
Our commitment is simple: Every child and family deserves the chance to thrive.
