About us
Four charities in Wales joined together on 1st April 2021 to become Adferiad Recovery, a new organisation which will provide support for vulnerable people in Wales and their families and carers. Adferiad Recovery will have a particular focus on people with mental health problems, substance misuse problems, and those with co-occurring and complex needs.
The merging charities are:
- Adferiad Recovery, based in South Wales, provides services for people with co-occurring mental health and substance misuse conditions and related issues
- CAIS, based in North Wales, provides substance misuse services, employment, mental health, and veterans services across Wales
- Hafal, based in South Wales, supports mental health service users, carers and other vulnerable groups across Wales
- WCADA, based in South Wales, provides substance misuse services in Swansea, Neath Port Talbot and Bridgend and the Public Prisons at Swansea, Cardiff, Usk and Prescoed.
CAIS, Hafal and WCADA had recently worked together to form Adferiad Recovery as a new charity. This enabled the charities to work together more closely, and the four have now merged into this new single charity.
