Community leaders celebrate Norfolk House’s commitment to combatting homelessness in Conwy
Norfolk House, a historic Victorian building and part of ClwydAlyn Housing’s Supported Living Scheme, recently hosted an open day that received an overwhelming outpouring of positivity from attendees. The event offered invited stakeholders a unique opportunity to witness first-hand the exceptional environment and comprehensive support provided to residents by ClwydAlyn Housing, a leading social housing and care provider.
Located in Conwy, Norfolk House serves as a sanctuary for adults who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. With 24-hour support, the home not only offers a safe and secure space but also empowers residents to overcome challenges, rebuild their lives, and become part of a caring community.
The open day was a resounding success, drawing praise from prominent local leaders including Police and Crime Commissioner Andy Dunbobbin, Mayor Ricky Owen and Lady Mayoress Delia Owens of Colwyn Bay, and Councillor Emily Owen of Conwy Council. The event featured guided tours, offering visitors a closer look at ClwydAlyn Housing’s dedication to creating an inclusive and nurturing environment for all residents. Attendees had the opportunity to engage directly with the passionate staff and residents, gaining valuable insights into the life-changing impact of the housing association’s services and the collaborative efforts that are enhancing the quality of life for those they support.
Meeting with Chief Executive, Clare Budden, and the dedicated staff reinforced my belief in the vital role these facilities play in North Wales. The programmes and initiatives at Norfolk House are truly making a difference, and I want to express my sincere gratitude to everyone involved for their unwavering commitment to supporting those in need.
Their warm welcome and the important work they do every day are prime examples of the compassionate spirit that makes our community strong.
