Dawsons Morriston branch working with the Community Impact Initiative

Who are The Community Impact Initiative?

Known as Cii, they’re a non-profit organisation concerned with the development, improvement, and sustainability of local communities.

They’re focused on bringing about social change, by taking empty properties in the local communities they operate in, renovating them with the environment and energy efficiency in mind, and using the renovation process as a way to offer people from disadvantaged backgrounds the chance to learn new skills, achieve new qualifications, build confidence and improve their overall health and wellbeing.

As an organisation, Cii offers help and support to people whatever their background, whether that involves poor mental health, addiction, homelessness, domestic abuse, financial problems, unemployment, a lack of skills, or low self-esteem.

Through working on these projects, Cii looks to encourage teamwork, responsibility, empathy, respect, wellbeing and happiness and we absolutely love the work they’re doing in the local community.

Andrea Devoy, Senior Sales Consultant and Valuer at our Morriston Branch has been a member of team Dawsons for over 25 years, and she’s been working with Cii to make sure that once local projects they’ve been working on are completed, they’re put back on the market to make fantastic homes for someone looking to buy.

“During the past few years, we have developed an excellent working relationship with Andrea and the team at Dawsons. They provide an effective and efficient service at all times, and have supported us to ensure we can continue to return empty properties to the housing market.”

Here is an example of how a 3 bed, semi-detached Bonymaen property purchased at auction and in serious need of renovation, provided opportunities for learning within the community over the six months it took to complete the project - the transformations are absolutely fantastic!
