Gorwelion Shared Horizons

Sustainable Wales and Parthian have published an anthology of new writing from around the world; find out more.

The planet is warming and we are responsible.

For writers from India, Wales and Scotland

Climate change is the most serious global issue.

In this anthology compiled by charity Sustainable Wales Cymru Gynaliadwy they describe its effects on their home areas.

With the help of the past, they look forward. For some the future might be marvellous, for others terrifying.

But sombre or surreal

For all of them

That future is here.

Jeniphers’ coffi

A new brand of Fairtrade coffee for Wales

from Uganda to Wales

There’s a reason why Jenipher’s on the label. While we’re passionate about producing delicious coffee, we’re also focused on building relationships and creating communities.

Jenipher’s Coffi has emerged from a deep friendship between the people of Wales and the Mt Elgon region of Uganda. For decades, we’ve been exchanging ideas, sharing learning and working hand-in-hand to tackle some of the biggest problems facing both the region and the world.

Fairness and respect are values that we will never be willing to compromise, so our bags of coffee will always carry the Fairtrade Mark. The coffee is grown organically and our packaging is sustainably procured because these values extend to people and the planet too.
