GISDA

GISDA Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Scheme

GISDA is a charity that provides accommodation and intensive support and opportunities to vulnerable young people in Gwynedd between 16 and 25 years old with offices in Caernarfon, Blaenau Ffestiniog and Pwllheli. GISDA seeks to improve young people’s lives by working with them to develop their independent living skills and improve their employability, health, physical and mental wellbeing, and sense of self-worth. The support we offer each individual is tailored to their needs, directly addressing the difficulties they are experiencing and aimed towards achieving the goals they have set for themselves. Some of our projects include supporting young parents; raising awareness of homelessness across schools; finding and providing accommodation for young people, and supporting their transition into employment; and supporting young LGBTQ+ people. Through the range of projects and therapeutic support that GISDA offers, young people gain the skills and confidence required to live independently.
