About Us

Male and female volunteers

Cymorth Cymru is the representative body for providers of homelessness, housing and support services in Wales. We act as the voice of the sector, influencing the development and implementation of policy, legislation and practice that affects our members and the people they support.

We want to be part of a social movement that ends homelessness and creates a Wales where everyone can live safely and independently in their own homes and thrive in their communities. We are committed to working with people who use services, our members and partners to effect change. We believe that together we can have a greater impact on people’s lives.

Our Vision:

A Wales where everyone can live safely and independently in their own homes, realise their aspirations and thrive in their communities.

Our mission:

  • Connect, strengthen, influence and inspire service providers, policy makers and partners to:
  • Prevent homelessness
  • Support people to live safely and independently in their own homes
  • Enable people to realise their aspirations and thrive in their communities

This includes people experiencing or at risk of homelessness; young people and care leavers; older people; people fleeing violence against women, domestic abuse or sexual violence; people living with a learning disability; people experiencing mental health problems; people with substance use issues; and many more.
