In this series, we’ll explore the lives of the people who keep Wales close, wherever they are.

Perthyn means to belong. If you were born Welsh, or lived here, came here to work or learn – Wales stays with you.

Perthyn is a feeling of warmth, of community spirit. Wherever you are, you belong to a global Welsh community that’s built on kindness, endless creativity and ingenuity.

In this series, we’ll explore the lives of the people who keep Wales close, wherever they are.

They’re the people who are inspired by the landscapes of Wales, the history of the mountains and the beauty of the coastline. They are those who still believe in the ripple effect of starting small, and in doing good things. They’re the people who have taken Wales and our values to the world, telling the story of a country determined to raise the bar.

Some are Welsh by birth. Others are Welsh because they want to be. They all share the passion innate to our national identity.

Most important: they’re those who know the warm Welsh welcome by heart. And they’re inviting you in.
