Creating opportunities through culture programme

Cadw and Girlguiding Cymru

The Castell Cariad Challenge is a joint initiative from Girlguiding Cymru and Cadw, which aims to encourage girls and volunteers to explore castles and other historic sites in Wales as well as a range of fun history activities.

Girls who complete the challenge can receive a certificate and a badge.

The Castell Cariad Challenge is a great way for girls of all ages to learn about the history of Wales, have fun, and make new friends. It is also a great way to encourage girls to get outdoors and explore their local area.

Find out more by visiting the Girlguiding Cymru website to get involved: Girlguiding Cymru / Castell Cariad Challenge

Cadw and Scouting Cymru

The Cennin Pedr Award is a national badge developed by ScoutsCymru in partnership with Cadw and shaped by young people. It celebrates Welsh culture, heritage and identity through a range of hands-on activities, tailored to different age groups, from Squirrels to Explorers.

Launched at Caerphilly Castle, the award is now available to all Scout groups. It encourages them to explore Welsh language, traditions, stories and historic places - and supports young people to build skills, confidence and a stronger sense of connection to their communities and Wales.

We look forward to welcoming more scouts to some of Wales’ most important historic sites, as they work towards their Cennin Pedr Award.

Tempo time credits in Wales

Cadw is a partner supporting the Welsh Government funded Tempo All Wales programme.

We enable free access to our heritage sites to Tempo credit holders Timebanking Scheme Visits | Cadw (gov.wales) and work with Tempo to widen the network of opportunities.

The Tempo All Wales programme is building a nationwide ‘Time Credit’ community, designed to encourage, recognise, and reward volunteering across the country. It seeks to tackle impacts of poverty on communities and mobilise local social action through volunteering and support areas to achieve their local well-being goals; which includes encouraging sustainable behaviour and efficient use of resources. As a result of this project, it is hoped that Welsh communities will benefit from infrastructure that supports better connected communities through cohesion and support, as well as a more equal and healthier Wales.
