Cwm Arian Renewable Energy
Communications Coordinator
Cwm Arian Renewable Energy (CARE) is a community benefit society based in Crymych, Pembrokeshire. Our vision is to see ‘thriving communities, connected to nature and each other, enjoying environments rich in life’.
We began as a group of volunteers sharing a common interest in protecting the natural environment, supporting the local rural economy to prevent or relieve poverty, and investing the benefits from our activities locally.
Since 2017, we have been meeting our aims by providing advice, guidance, education and skills, and sharing opportunities with individuals and community groups in Pembrokeshire. Our work has been recognised by a St David’s Award nomination as finalists and winning a Pride in Pembrokeshire award. In 2019, CARE erected a 700kW wind turbine. Income from the sale of renewable energy, combined with grant funding, is currently providing CARE with a substantial turnover that allows us to deliver a wide variety of projects which benefit communities in Pembrokeshire and the neighbouring counties of Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion.
We are a team of friendly, hard-working, part-time workers who aim to collaborate and support each other to achieve the best for our local community and the natural world.

CARE are a Community Benefit Society determined to make a positive environmental impact for our local community in North-East Pembrokeshire.
After 13 years hard work we’ve successfully put up a 700kW wind turbine to generate clean energy. We are now working on developing a share offer to invite people to invest and become members of CARE, which will help grow a fund for the benefit of the local community. We are also working hard to deliver our other community projects, focusing on landscape restoration and creating an eco-friendly space for arts in the community.
Over the years we’ve worked with other communities, businesses and individuals across North Pembrokeshire; sharing what we have learned along the way, to help build resilience to the changing economy and the changing environment, through community action and enterprise.
