Who we are

Our Aims

We have come a long way since our humble beginnings and now offer services that encompass housing, health, training, employment, recycling and community regeneration.

With the formation Cyrenians Employment and Training Ltd. , initially founded in 1973 as Swansea Cyrenians Ltd., we will be better placed than ever to assist severely disadvantaged adults break the cycle of poverty.

Please note that, to comply with our funders' requirements, Cyrenians Cymru and Cyrenians Employment and Training Ltd will require certain proofs of eligibility from individuals who wish to access our services. For more information please contact us (see details below).

From donations of furniture, money and time, to harvest festivals and Christmas presents, your kindness is a constant testimony to a community that cares.
