Hafan Cymru is a Registered Social landlord, formed in 1989, and having grown out of an initiative of the Women’s Aid movement in Wales at a time when refuge was the only form of accommodation or support for women living with domestic abuse. We are the leading provider of housing and support services across Wales for women, men and children experiencing violence against women and domestic abuse, and our mission is to work to prevent abuse and homelessness and to promote the independence of those we support through a range of individually tailored support interventions. Over the past 24 years we have expanded from our original intent to provide long term support for women and children moving on from refuges and who have multiple, complex needs. We now have 50 projects across 17 local authorities in North, Mid/ West and South Wales supporting men as well as women and children, providing refuge, safe houses, temporary supporting houses and floating and outreach support.

Surf Therapy CIC uses surfing as a therapy to work with men with mental health issues, substance misuse issues and as an outdoor therapy to work with ex-offenders and men at risk off offending. Surf Therapy CIC is a member of the International Surf Therapy Organization.

The Nelson Trust provides Women's Centre services to women experiencing multiple, complex needs which may include repeated involvement with the Criminal Justice System (CJS). Our mission is to champion trauma-informed approaches to address the root causes of substance misuse, violence, abuse, deprivation and poverty. Our comprehensive services are based at our Women’s Community Centres in Gloucester, Swindon, Somerset, Bristol and Wales. The gender-specific services we offer address needs across the Nine Pathways that lead to offending (including housing, health, substance misuse, employment, and family breakdown), and divert women away from the CJS. The Trust was established in 1985, and our women’s services were informed by our abstinent-based residential rehabilitation programme in Gloucestershire. We work with women across Gloucestershire, Swindon, Wiltshire, Avon and Somerset and Wales to reduce re-offending and support women to achieve sustained, positive changes in their lives.
