TCC (Trefnu Cymunedol Cymru/Together Creating Communities) based in Wrexham, North Wales, have been recognised as one of 100 Future Generations Changemakers at a recent awards ceremony at the Millennium Centre in Cardiff.

The Changemaker list consists of 100 individuals and organisations large and small, that are seen to be making a positive difference to the world which surrounds us.

TCC was founded in 1995, and are the UK’s oldest Community Organising group.  They tackle social injustice by supporting diverse communities to gain the power they need to enact change.  This is accomplished through community organising – bringing together local groups, so they can set their own agenda, take action, and improve their communities.

Future Generations Commissioner Sophie Howe stated that:

“This event is about recognising just some of the people demonstrating what happens when we put well-being first, work together and consider the long-term implications of our actions, and highlights the need to support changemakers so that they can improve society for everyone.

“The Future Generations Changemaker 100 is merely a snapshot of Wales’ brilliant changemakers, and we want others to share the people who inspire them, and keep the momentum going for now and for future generations.”

TCC said that it was an “honour and a privilege” to be part of the event, which “encompassed so many striving for positive societal change”.
