What others say

This is what others say about us:

“GISDA offers a key service for young people living in the area who are in vulnerable situations.  We as a Council consider GISDA as an important partner in seeking to promote the safety and well-being of young people in our communities.  Many young people in the area are indebted to GISDA– due to the care and support provided to them.”
     
Iwan Trefor Jones
Gwynedd Council Corporate Director

 

“We work with GISDA in order to meet the needs for accommodation and support for vulnerable young people here in Gwynedd.  The service that GISDA provides is part of the preparation framework that is commissioned by the Housing and Social Services Department along with projects that are directly funded by GISDA.  This is an example where more can be achieved by working in partnership other than working as an independent agency.” 

Gwen Carrington
Head of Social Services

 

“Mantell Gwynedd supports the sincere ways in which GISDA helps young people, and happily welcomes the holistic nature of strengthening young people in order to fulfil their potential.  The work that GISDA presents, in the medium and long term, takes significant pressure away from statutory services, and, as is common to the whole Third sector offers great value for money.”  

Bethan Russell Williams – Mantell Gwynedd
Chief Officer

 

“In terms of Supporting People funding, GISDA plays a significant role in supporting young people within Gwynedd.  They deliver housing related support through a range of different support models i.e. hostel accommodation, supported housing and floating support. Their services target one of the most vulnerable groups in our community and contribute to delivering the aims and objectives of the Supporting People programme in Gwynedd.”

Sheila Phillips
Supporting People Unit - Gwynedd Council

 

“Tai Clwyd Housing Association is landlord to properties in which GISDA manages and provides accredited support to its tenants.  We work closely with GISDA and appreciate the excellent work and service they provide for young homeless people throughout Gwynedd.  We receive housing applications and with GISDA’s help re-house individuals that are ready to move on from their projects or want to receive support from our general estate.”
