GLYN WYLFA WAS ESTABLISHED WITH A MISSION TO TRANSFORM DISUSED COUNCIL PREMISES INTO A CAFÉ (CAFFI WYLFA) AND AN OFFICE SPACE (GLYN WYLFA)
WHO WE ARE
Glyn Wylfa was established with a grant of nearly £600,000 from the National Lottery and Wrexham Country Borough Council. The community enterprise now makes all its income from trading and reinvests its profits to support local charities and improve its environmental sustainability.
The café has become a community hub and tourist information centre. The office spaces are rented out to local businesses that provide essential services for the benefit of the local community.
SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL PURPOSE
We are a social enterprise business that trades for a social and environmental purpose. There are more than 131,000 social enterprises in the UK, with a collective turnover of £78 billion and employing around 2.3 million people.
Social enterprises demonstrate a better way to do business, one that prioritises benefit to people and planet and uses the majority of any profit to further their mission. Social enterprises contribute to reducing economic inequality, improving social justice and to environmental sustainability

After spending many years visiting Caffi Wylfa, in April 2024 I volunteered to join the Board of this Social Enterprise to enable me to understand exactly how Glyn Wylfa and Caffi Wylfa are run.
