Community Housing Cymru

Community Housing Cymru is the membership body for housing associations and community mutuals in Wales, which are all not-for-profit and provide around 158,000 homes and housing services throughout Wales. We promote the voluntary housing sector in Wales and the relief of financial hardship through the sector's provision of low cost social housing.

The places the charity told the Commission it works in.

In the year ending 31 March 2025, it had income of £2,121,341 and spent £1,909,854.

Figures as the charity reported them to the Charity Commission. Staff and volunteer numbers are only asked of charities with income over £10,000. A year with no row was not reported.

Separate measures from the charity's own returns and accounts, each with its year. Read them together: no single measure says how well a charity is run.

Income over time

Up 19%, from £1,789,707 in the year to 31 March 2021 to £2,121,341 in the year to 31 March 2025.

Spending against income

It spent 90% of its income in the year to 31 March 2025. It spent more than its income in 1 of the 5 years shown.

From the annual returns the charity filed with the Charity Commission. The largest funder comes from its accounts, read by AI.

Government grants in the year ending 31 March 2025: Not reported. Government contracts: Not reported.

From the charity's annual return to the Charity Commission, which asks every charity with income over £10,000 how much came from government grants and contracts. It does not say which part of government. These totals are separate from the named funders read from its accounts and the grants published on 360Giving, and are not added to them.

Funders that publish to 360Giving list 1 grant to this charity, worth £248,755, awarded in 2011.

Only funders that publish their grants to 360Giving are included, and many do not. These are amounts funders awarded, which can differ from what the charity received in a given year, so they are shown apart from the accounts figures above.

Public bodies' published spending shows 2 payments to this charity worth £150 between 29 July 2022 and 10 August 2022.

Councils and Welsh Government publish what they pay suppliers and grant holders above a threshold, usually £500 for councils and £25,000 for Welsh Government, so smaller payments are missing. A payment is shown only when OpenEconomy matched it to this charity with certainty. These figures come from the payer's records. They are a separate measure from the charity's own accounts, 360Giving grants and its annual return, and are never added to them.
