Our Partners
Our partnerships are a key part of our ethos, strategy and operations. We prefer to collaborate rather than compete. This is why WRAP is set up as a co-operative and we follow co-operative as well as restorative principles in all we do.

Cadwyn Housing Association
Partners
Cadwyn Housing Association has been providing affordable homes to people in Cardiff for the last 50 years. A diverse organisation ranging from general and supported housing to professional and social lettings and an estate agency, we supply homes to around 2000 families. Our goal is to supply more than just the house by building strong and resilient communities.
Working in partnership with Wales Restorative Approaches Partnership (W.R.A.P) for over a year, staff from Cadwyn’s tenant-focused services have all been trained with the restorative approach. Vince, W.R.A.P’s restorative Trainer and Practitioner, has imparted the skills and mind-set to bring about wholesale change within our services. This close working relationship has seen the two organisations join up to bid for funding to upskill our tenants in the approach.
Phil Richardson, Head of Supported Housing, states “After receiving the training from W.R.A.P, Restorative Approaches felt a natural and comfortable fit for Cadwyn. It built on our “Do With not To” attitude and gave a clear articulation and framework for us to take forward. It has helped improve the support we deliver, massively benefitting the families we work with. It has also helped focus on our own staff and how important their needs and wellbeing are to the success of Cadwyn”.
