2Activ8 is a joint venture between Carmarthenshire County Council and the Ammanford Junior Gateway charity and is based in the 2Activ8 Alternative Lifestyle Centre, in Wind Street, Ammanford.

Participants will be able to gain volunteer experience in the retail environment, by working as sales assistants in the card and gift shop. The scheme also provides valuable opportunities to people with learning disabilities in the area, working within a social firm.
 
The products are also manufactured at the S.T.E.P.’s Units (Supported Training and Employment Programmes) in Carmarthen, Cross Hands and Llanelli. The craft and cards produced by people with learning disabilities at the STEPs Units are then sold at 2Activ8 gift shop.

2Activ8 Alternative Lifestyle Centre offers a warm, eclectic, cosmopolitan and unique centre, which includes a lounge style café, gift shop and a whole world of alternative experiences to anyone who walks through the door.

2Activ8, a supporter and seller of Fairtrade products, has also recently registered as a social firm, under the name of ‘Get Stuffed’. The ‘Get Stuffed’ project will provide employment opportunities for people with learning disabilities in the form of undertaking packaging, printing leaflets, booklets and distributing mail shot deliveries.
