Students at Ysgol Gymuned Llanfechell are enjoying new opportunities to learn outdoors and spend time creating their own raised garden beds, thanks to a community project delivered by contractor DU Construction and social homes provider, ClwydAlyn.
Denbighshire-based provider of social homes ClwydAlyn has announced that three colleagues have been shortlisted for prestigious sector awards, which recognise their commitment, leadership, compassion and impact across housing and people services.
For the first time in many years, Llandudno Town Centre will benefit from much-needed, new affordable housing. ClwydAlyn’s new development has been built to address the shortage of affordable homes available to local residents; with handover of the 77 new homes due to start in late June.
Five housing associations – Adra, Cartrefi Conwy, ClwydAlyn, Grŵp Cynefin and North Wales Housing have teamed up, to promote the importance of community and Welsh culture at this year’s Eisteddfod yr Urdd – which takes place 23-29 May at Anglesey Agricultural Showground.
ClwydAlyn, a St Asaph based housing association, has raised over £8,000 for St Kentigern Hospice, following a year of fundraising initiatives organised by its Sports and Social Committee.
At 87 years old, Judith Smith, has found an unexpected passion for writing poetry, inspired by her new home at Neuadd Maldwyn in Welshpool.
Ann Walker (seen in the centre of the picture), moved into Nant Mawr Court, a community for people aged over 55, in Buckley two years ago with her husband Steve. She brought with her a passion for fitness and a positive ‘can do’ attitude.
As she got to know her neighbours, it wasn’t long before Ann saw that her experience as a fitness instructor, could be an asset to her community.
Kieran Jones is a Homeless Support Officer, who is motivating young residents through his passion for fitness and self-care.
He believes that it’s a privilege to support young people on their journeys and that with the right mindset, support, and opportunities, everyone has the potential to move forward and build a positive future.
We caught up with Kieran, who is based at Llys Emlyn Williams in Holywell, a ClwydAlyn supported living scheme for young people aged 16-24, to find out more…
In Flintshire, a four-day workshop at a supported living scheme for young people experiencing homelessness has equipped five young residents with enhanced life skills and a better understanding of how to maintain positive mental health.
The final residents were delighted to move into ClwydAlyn’s new £11 Million development at Rhuddlan Road in Bodelwyddan recently.
