Croeso Menai is a charity which was set up in 2018 in response to the horrific images of people risking their lives trying to seek safety in Europe and the horrors of the refugee camps. Croeso Menai formed a community group in order to participate in the UK government’s Community Sponsorship scheme.

In 2022, while still juggling support for our first refugee family and planning for a second family, some volunteers in Croeso Menai decided we had to do something to support Ukrainians escaping war and coming to live in the Bangor area. And so we set up Dyma Ni Ukraine community hub.

A year later, with the change in asylum dispersal rules in early 2023, Gwynedd began to receive asylum seekers who were placed in shared houses in the locality. Again Croeso Menai volunteers decided we must do something to support this very vulnerable group and we quickly set up Dyma Ni Befriending, a community hub specifically for asylum seekers.
