Celebrating 50 Years of Caredig: A Chance to Reflect and Say Thankyou
We were delighted to come together this week with partners, staff and tenants to celebrate Caredig’s 50th anniversary. It was a marvellous opportunity to reflect and say thank you to our wonderful staff and partners who have played such an important role in making us what we are today. Since our establishment in 1975, Caredig has gone from strength to strength, now managing nearly 3,000 homes across five authorities, growing into an ambitious, well-established, and independent housing association with strong local roots and a reputation for excellence.
Chief Executive, Marcia Sinfield said “It was our pleasure to welcome to the event our partners from Welsh Government, Councils, funders and developers who work together with us to make this all possible. The Leader of Swansea Council, Cllr Robert Stewart, cut our celebratory cake and we were delighted to welcome the Deputy Leader, Cllr Andrea Lewis too.”
Attendees shared:

I was so glad to attend, and it’s great working with Caredig and hope we can do much more together.”

“It was wonderful to join you all at Hazel Court last week to celebrate your 50th anniversary. I thoroughly enjoyed the presentation and seeing many of the older faces back in the Family Housing days, it’s hard to believe that we have worked with the organisation for 36 years this year.
We look forward to continuing our support to Caredig, its residents and its communities in the future.”
