Cyrenians Cymru

We are now into the fifth year of a ground-breaking partnership with Abertawe Bro Morgannwg Health Authority (formerly Iechydd Morgannwg HA) to deliver health support at the Cyrenians Community centre to homeless people and others who find it difficult to access mainstream services.

The partnership links the Swansea High St. practice to the centre, providing a specialist homelessness nurse and support from two GPs. This partnership is the only one of its kind in Wales, and has produced impressive results.

In 2010, Janet Keauffling the Homeless Nurse was awarded the Queen’s Award for Nursing, and in the same year the Swansea High St. Practice were winners of the Royal College of General Practitioners, Wales Practice Administration Team of the Year Award.

There is also a highly-valued counselling service at the centre. Please click on the following link to read the most recent health report (PDF Format 2mb), which includes information on the counselling available.
