The Windrush Cymru Elders

The Windrush Cymru Elders was established by Mrs Roma Taylor in 2017 as part of Race Council Cymru. They are a proactive group of 50+ elders who promote understanding of ethnic minority elders concerns, needs whilst celebrating key milestones and marking the contributions of people of African descent. The group meets weekly in Cardiff to enjoy each other’s company and take part in creative activities in and around Wales. Race Council Cymru staff and the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama provide support and meeting facilities!
