Welcome to the Amber Project Website
The Amber Project exists to support any young person (aged 14-25) in Cardiff and the surrounding areas who has experience of self-harm.
Please feel free to look around, and if you have any questions or think that we might be able to help, please do contact us. We are available Monday - Friday, 9:30-5:30 . Unfortunately the current Coronavirus outbreak has had a huge impact on our services. We are now able to take new referrals and are offering a range of support.

Covid-19 urgent up-date
Due to the increase in cases, we are continuing to work remotely for at least the next few weeks. We are still taking referrals but initial meetings will not be face to face.

A new guitar group for beginners will be starting on 25th November, 5.15 - 5.45pm.

The Friday evening group will run from 7.00 - 8.30pm (not 9.00pm) from 27th November.

There will be two more sessions for both Friday groups (27th Nov & 4th Dec), and they will then break until the New Year.

The project is extremely grateful to the funders who are enabling us to develop new ways of working at this difficult time. Take a look at our News page for more information about these groups.
