About us
Caredig is a non-profit social landlord. We provide housing and support to people in Swansea, Neath, Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire. Caredig (formerly Family Housing) was formed in 1975 by a group of local people who recognised there was a shortage of good quality, affordable housing available in the Swansea area for people in housing need. In its early years, the Association concentrated its activities in the Swansea City area and provided rented accommodation through the refurbishment of existing, dilapidated houses in Housing Action Areas and General Improvement Areas. It has since expanded to undertake a wide range of new build and regeneration projects throughout a much wider area of operation. The Association’s activities are funded through a mixture of public and private finance. As at March 2018, the Association had 2867 homes in management with the number of homes per Local Authority distributed as follows: • Neath & Port Talbot County Borough Council • City & County of Swansea • Carmarthenshire County Council • Pembrokeshire County Council • Ceredigion County Council The Association provides a wide range of housing solutions for single people, families, older people and people who need support to maintain their tenancy. The Association has formed partnerships with a wide range of statutory and voluntary organisations to provide specialist housing and support services for: - • Homeless people • People with disabilities • Women with support needs • Young vulnerable people • Young people leaving care • People with learning disabilities • People with unsettled backgrounds • People with mental ill-health • Older people with care & and support needs

At Caredig our behaviours reflect what we value most. Our values shape how we interact with our customers, colleagues, partners, and the work we do every day. We have decided that platform X (formally Twitter) no longer aligns with our core values. As a result, we will no longer be posting or engaging on this platform. However, residents, colleagues and partners can continue to connect with us through our channels, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn, where we will maintain our dedication to open, value-driven engagement. Follow us using these links: Facebook - https://lnkd.in/epjgwTi7 Instagram - https://lnkd.in/e4-Mwqyw Thank you for your continued support. ❤️

As part of City & County of Swansea #SummerHoliday #FoodFund, our Community Engagement Officers have been out in Swansea this week delivering snack bags to our residents. This has been funded from the City & County of Swansea grant as part of tackling poverty. Our team will be visiting a number of our residents over the next few weeks, but you can contact a Housing Officer for the area you live in, and they can also provide snack bags. #Community #TacklingFoodPoverty #Food

The sun was shining and the birds were singing while we took handover of our new development Frederick Place in Llansamlet, from Castell Group this week. It was lovely that our CEO Marcia Sinfield was able to give Brian Pickett CEO of Cardiff Community Housing Association a tour of the development and talk through some of the adaptations that have been installed to accommodate new residents. #PartnershipWorking #Development #NewHomes #Community

A proud shout out! 👏 We want to share a very big congratulations to Emma, who is a resident at one of our supported living schemes. Emma set herself a goal and smashed it with the help of staff member Zac Osterland. The magic duo entered in to #RaceForLife #Swansea and completed it together. Emma is always amazing us with her determination and zest for trying new things. We are proud of the support our staff provide to each resident, helping them live as independently as possible, and even more for literally supporting them at their side for new challenges in life. ❤️ #TeamCelebration #People #Support #Achievement

We have all been shocked by the unrest seen in parts of the UK in recent days. Our thoughts remain with those impacted by the horrendous events in Southport, which has unfortunately been overshadowed by the senseless riots and acts of violence that have followed. Caredig stands firmly against any form of discrimination or violence, and we offer our support to anyone impacted or struggling during these times. Violence in any form is unacceptable, and it is particularly distressing when it is fuelled by hate and prejudice. To our residents and communities who may be affected by these tragic events we want you to know that we stand together with you, and firmly against all forms of racism, discrimination, Islamophobia and violence. Help and support is always available via your Community Housing Officers, visit our website for information on who to contact in your area. https://www.caredig.co.uk/
