Since its very early days Llanfair and Penrhys has welcomed visitors from all over the world.
The Council of World Mission, a world-wide family of thirty churches has been the main source of the many overseas volunteers who have played such an invaluable part in the development, and everyday life of Llanfair. Through the Council of World Mission Llanfair has also created a close relationship with the Church of Jesus Christ in Madagascar (FJKM), and with Akany Avoko, a home for girls in Antananarivo, for many years there have been one or two volunteers from Madagascar living and serving in the community. Llanfair also welcome volunteers from Time For God (TFG) who come to Penrhys for almost a full year to leave and serve in the community. They have come from many different countries.
Alongside the support of the overseas volunteers has been Llanfair’s commitment to local and international justice and peace. This reflects an unswerving commitment to Christian Aid. Llanfair is committed to Fairtrade in all its policies and has a strong nucleus of committed local volunteers. It is noteworthy that while here, the overseas volunteers are introduced to trade justice issues.
