    • 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.
