Studio Swansea · Run by TIFA Life CIC
A community space for care leavers and UASC young people
Meet people, learn practical and creative skills, get trusted advice and build routes into work. Studio is also a public café, hireable venue and city-centre hostel.
What Studio Is For
A place to belong,
learn and move forward.
Studio is a welcoming city-centre base built around care leavers and unaccompanied asylum-seeking young people. It is somewhere to spend time, meet people, get practical advice, learn useful skills and take the next step towards education or work.
The public café, venue and hostel help sustain the space and create real settings in which young people can build confidence and experience.

The CIC model
Why TIFA Life CIC runs Studio
Studio gives care leavers and UASC young people a consistent place in the city to build relationships, confidence and practical experience. Income from the café, venue and hostel is reinvested in that purpose through TIFA Life CIC.
The trading spaces also create genuine environments for learning about customer service, hospitality, events, teamwork and employment.
