This initiative has been put together by The North Wales Financial Inclusion Partnership   – a robust consortium of members from seven of the housing associations that serve the North Wales area – Wales and West, Clwyd Alyn, Tai Eryri, Tai Clwyd, North Wales Housing Association, Cartrefi Conwy and Cartrefi Cymunedol Gwynedd.

The partnership has been running successfully for over 4 years. It was established in 2008 initially to explore networking opportunities – but it soon became apparent that there was a common need for additional pre-tenancy work, thus they started working collaboratively on a number of initiatives, of which Take Ctrl is the latest.

Take Ctrl is funded by Communities 2.0 which is a Welsh Government/ERDF package of support specifically allocated for tackling digital exclusion – for more information visit Commuities 2.0 website.

Sustainability

Although this is a two-year initiative, partners have been considering its sustainability and see this very much as the first phase of a much more inclusive project  that could bring together existing projects in the area, secure new partners from the public, private and third sectors and create a model for dealing with exclusion that could be replicated elsewhere. If you would like to be part of this initiative – as an individual or organisation please contact Jen.
