About Us

The A.V.C.
Some founder members have since passed on or moved from Wales, but the AVC continues and will continue to serve the Welsh-Italian community and their friends in the future.
Our Mission
The main objectives were, and will always be, to organise social and cultural events promoting contact among the Welsh-Italian community in social settings, thus maintaining that extra dimension of both Welsh and Italian cultures.
The AVC will always be strictly non-political as an Association. Profit is secondary to the social aspect, with any funds raised being given to carefully chosen charities. We have over the years distributed a substantial amount to a wide range of worthy charities.
