Cadwyn Housing Association has officially joined the Cadarn Housing Group [previously called Newydd Group] as a sister organisation to Newydd Housing Association.
Both Newydd and Cadwyn will now operate as subsidiaries within the group, marking a significant milestone in the group’s history as it celebrates its 50th birthday (pictured) and a new era of collaboration.
They say the partnership strengthens the financial resilience of Cadwyn and Newydd, enhancing their ability to provide high-quality, affordable homes while renewing and maintaining existing properties.
By joining forces, they aim to better spread business risks and strengthen relationships with stakeholders, while remaining committed to their local bases and the communities they serve.
Operating as separate legal entities will allow both organisations to maintain their unique identities, they say, while benefiting from shared expertise and resources. This will position the Cadarn Housing Group to continue its mission of delivering affordable homes and improving services for tenants across South and Mid Wales over the next 50 years.
Jason Wroe, chief executive of Cadarn Housing Group, said: ‘We are thrilled to welcome Cadwyn into our group as a sister organisation to Newydd. This is a major milestone, not only as we celebrate 50 years of Cadarn, but also as we look ahead to a future of collaboration. By working together, we can share expertise, resources, and become more efficient, while keeping our tenants at the heart of everything we do.’
David Hayhoe, retiring chief executive at Cadwyn Housing Association, said: ‘As Cadwyn embarks on this exciting new chapter as part of the Cadarn Housing Group, I want to extend my best wishes to the group and to Cadwyn. This partnership represents a powerful opportunity for both organisations to thrive, share resources, and achieve even greater success in the future.
‘I have no doubt that Cadwyn’s values and commitment to its tenants will continue to flourish within Cadarn, and I look forward to seeing the positive outcomes this partnership will bring for tenants and communities. I wish everyone involved the very best of luck as they move forward together.’
