Our work in Wales

At Nacro we see people’s futures whatever the past

We believe that everyone deserves a good education, a safe and secure place to live, the right to be heard, and the chance to start again with support from someone on their side.

As an established charity delivering services across Wales, we support people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness to get the support they need to build positive futures and independent lives. We tailor our support responding to each individual’s needs.

Collaboration is at the heart of our approach, working in partnership with others to increase our impact. We work closely with Local Authorities, the Welsh Government and the Wales Probation Service to find solutions to homelessness.

We offer a range of services:

  • Our supported housing gives people a home and tailored support to help them maintain a tenancy and progress towards independent living.
  • Our floating support services help people stay in the homes they are in by providing support to maintain a tenancy and look after a home.
  • Our advice and guidance services help people find somewhere to live or stay in the home they have.

In 2021-2022

  • 321

    people

    were supported into secure accommodation through our resettlement services.

  • 38

    people and families

    were provided with supported accommodation.

  • 86

The support I have received as been very helpful especially when you hear in prison the stories of not being able to obtain accommodation on release. I've found the support very helpful and it's been nice to know there is someone there to help to give you the right support and advice.
