What we do

Gisda is a charity that provides support and opportunities to homeless and vulnerable young people in Gwynedd by providing accommodation; theraputic support to develop confidence and independant living skills; wellbeing and mental health support; progression support for employment, education and/or training; creative activities to raise confidence and develop skills; opportunities to broaden horizons. This is to reach our vision that Gwynedd's young people can live happy and safe lives free from disadvantage and inequity. It provides a range of projects such as Academi Cyfleon which provides support to 16 - 25 year olds across Gwynedd with independent living skills, employability, volunteering and training. ICAN, which provides early support to people struggling with their mental health and wellbeing. LGBTQ+, youth clubs in Caernarfon, Blaenau Ffestiniog and Pwllheli. Housing Support, providing support to young people on their journey to independent living. And much more!

Who do we support

We support Gwynedd's young people between the ages of 16 and 25 in the largest part of the projects we have here at GISDA. In some projects we support young people between the ages of 14 and 25. One project that supports mental health with this age range is ICAN. We are an ICAN hub which supports individuals in Caernarfon, Pwllheli and Bangor. In Caernarfon and Pwllheli we support 14 to 25 year olds, in Maesgeirchan we support individuals 14 years up which is unique to this project and location at GISDA. You will need an address for all GISDA projects, whether this comes through another service / agency or by referring yourselves to a project by emailing us or calling in to ask about how we can help you.
