Mindful Mondays

Your Well-being is Our Priority

Emotional well-being is essential for sustainable living. Every Monday at JIST's community site, we offer dedicated wellbeing and mental health support sessions led by a compassionate team of trained professionals and expert partners. Whether you're facing stress, anxiety, grief, or trauma, our team provides a safe, confidential space to talk, be heard, and begin healing. These personalised sessions are designed to help you cope with life’s challenges and build resilience—one step at a time.

Tasty Tuesdays

Healing Hearts One Plate at a Time

Every Tuesday at JIST is dedicated to nourishment, connection, and care. As part of our Warm Meal Cardiff (WMC) initiative, we’ll be running all-day cooking sessions, bringing people together to prepare and share hearty meals. More than just food, this is about restoring dignity, building community, and offering comfort in times of need. One warm meal, one person, one family at a time—we believe small, consistent acts can spark real change

Work-It Wednesdays

Work-It. Own-It. Win-It.

Wednesdays at JIST are all about unlocking potential. Through hands-on workshops, we help participants develop entrepreneurial and practical skills to navigate the rising cost of living. Whether it’s discovering hidden talents, learning how to turn hobbies into income, or understanding the basics of budgeting and business, Work-it Wednesday is your space to grow, learn, and thrive.

Thrive Thursdays

Crafting Calm, Creating Joy.

Creativity meets community every Thursday at JIST. Whether it’s sip-and-paint sessions, bead making, pottery, crochet, or design classes. Thrive Thursday is all about using art to express, heal, and connect. These hands-on sessions offer a relaxing way to explore your creative side, meet new people, and build confidence through making. No experience needed, just bring your imagination and good vibes. You get the JIST!

Feel-Good Fridays

Stronger Together, Better Together

At JIST, Fridays are all about community, coming together, showing up for one another, and championing the vulnerable among us. Whether you're a migrant, an unpaid carer, or someone navigating today’s complex social and political challenges, this is your space.

Through open discussions, shared meals, workshops, and outreach activities, we explore the issues that matter most and how we can tackle them collectively. By connecting individuals, neighbours, and organisations, Feel-Good Fridays foster solidarity, cultural awareness, and grassroots action. Focus is on community connection, advocacy, and awareness of social issues.

Storytelling Saturdays

Voices Unheard, Stories Untold

At JIST, in collaboration with Creative Minds Cymru, Storytelling Saturday is dedicated to amplifying the voices of those who have long been unheard. Whether through written stories, spoken word, audio recordings, or poetry, participants are encouraged to share their experiences and creative gifts in a safe, supportive space.

This initiative seeks out individuals from marginalised communities whose creativity has been stifled by poverty, immigration status, or social exclusion and gives them the tools, platform, and confidence to express themselves. Every Saturday, we celebrate the unique narratives that strengthen our community.

Self-Care Sundays

Soothe, Slow, Strengthen

Sunday at JIST is all about slowing down and taking stock of the past week, celebrating your resilience and giving yourself a well-deserved pat on the back for making it through, no matter what life threw your way. It’s a day dedicated to pampering your mind, body, and spirit through gentle, nurturing activities that restore balance and prepare you mentally and emotionally for the week ahead.

Self-Care Sunday creates a peaceful sanctuary where you can unwind, reflect, and strengthen your inner resources. It’s your weekly opportunity to recharge, heal, and embrace the power of self-care.

Everyday is a Gift

Make Everyday Count

At JIST, we believe every day is a precious gift. Our mission is to help you make each day count by focusing on restoration, growth, and wellbeing. No matter your situation, we’re here to support you in living well, building resilience, and embracing the possibilities each new day brings.

Join us at JIST as we work to make the most of every moment.
