newcis.org.ukAbout Newcis
NEWCIS, established in 1995, is one of Wales' largest providers of carer services, dedicated to supporting unpaid family carers and volunteers in North East Wales. Its mission empowers carers of all ages and backgrounds—including young carers and those supporting people with dementia, disabilities, children, adults, or the elderly—through accessible, holistic services rooted in values of empowerment, inclusivity, and wellbeing. As a regional partner of Carers Trust Wales, NEWCIS combines direct service delivery, advocacy, and community engagement, leveraging deep local knowledge and a hub for wraparound support. It prioritises interventions tackling immediate crises and building long-term resilience, focusing on mental health, financial stability, and social connections.
What Newcis funds
NEWCIS funds projects and services that support unpaid carers in North East Wales, specifically in Denbighshire, Flintshire, and Wrexham. They focus on mental health, financial stability, and social connections, offering grants, respite breaks, counselling, peer groups, hospital advocacy, emergency food, financial advice, and energy-saving workshops. They also provide training and information. Their funding addresses both immediate crises and long-term resilience for carers of all ages, including young carers and those supporting people with dementia, disabilities, or the elderly.
Who can apply
UK-registered charities and community groups with a local presence in Denbighshire, Flintshire, or Wrexham are eligible. They particularly welcome small to medium-sized organisations with experience in carer support. There are no religious restrictions. NEWCIS prioritises groups that can deliver accessible, holistic services to unpaid carers of all ages and backgrounds.
What Newcis doesn't fund
NEWCIS does not provide unrestricted or core funding to charities. Instead, they direct grants to carers themselves for their direct benefit. They also do not accept unsolicited applications; organisations must be invited to apply through partnerships or Carers Trust Wales processes.
How they like to fund
NEWCIS funds projects and emergency relief for carers, rather than core organisational costs. They work by invitation only, through established partnerships or via Carers Trust Wales. Grants are directed to carers themselves or to partner organisations delivering services.
