Who we are

Since 1973, Cyrenians Cymru has endeavoured to help some of the most vulnerable people in society. These include people who have suffered homelessness, those who have led unsettled lives, and those who have accommodation, but suffer extreme isolation and disengagement from mainstream society.

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.

 

Projects

You can access information about our individual projects from the links on the left. We have sites and schemes all across Swansea from the mumbles to the Hafod and will be opening new projects even further afield in the future

Benefits

The charity depends heavily on the tireless support of and generosity of the people of Swansea and south-west Wales. From donations of furniture, money and time, to harvest festivals and Christmas presents, your kindness is a constant testimony to a community that cares. The Friends of the Cyrenians society publishes regular newsletters to update people on the work of the charity, and organises occasional social events to bring people together in a good cause. More information can be found on their web site.

You can also donate online using our Paypal donation facility

Fire Celebrations

Cyrenians Cymru are excited to have received European funding through the Grundtvig Lifelong Learning programme which allows us to work with learning facilities in three other European countries (Denmark, Spain and Turkey), offering exchange visits for learners to the respective countries. The partnership aims to introduce adult learners to the different ways in which fire is used to celebrate events in different countries across the EU, and encourage participation in creative and traditional activities.

The first two events have taken place here in Swansea, and Tuejar, Spain, with representatives from Denmark, Spain and Turkey spending a week at Dragon Arts. Click on the image below for more details
