About Us
We're TIFA Life CIC
Studio Café Swansea is operated by TIFA Life CIC, a sister organisation to TIFA Life Ltd. While TIFA Life Ltd provides supported accommodation for unaccompanied asylum-seeking children and care leavers aged 16–18, TIFA Life CIC exists to support young people as they move towards independence. We're here for people, not profit.
Our Mission
Real Skills. Real Confidence. Real Futures.
TIFA Life CIC goes beyond housing. We support young people through work experience, vocational training, creative opportunities, and therapeutic activities designed to build real-world skills and confidence. Studio Café is our flagship project — the central space where young people gain employment, develop their talents, and move towards independence with dignity and support.
01
Community First
Young people at the centre. We support them through work, training, and real opportunities — not as beneficiaries, but as valued members of our community.
02
Creative Space
Creativity builds confidence and skills. Through art, music, employment, and creative projects, young people discover their potential and move towards independence.
03
Open to All
No barriers. No judgement. Young people from all backgrounds and circumstances deserve opportunity, dignity, and a place where they belong.
Support the mission
Every coffee, event, and stay reinvests in Swansea.
Come have a flat white, hire the venue, or book a stay — all profit goes back into supporting young people.
