The Local Charity That’s Really Making A Difference
Crest is a charity based in North Wales, first established as a social enterprise in 1998 and evolved from a project run by Scope. In 2020, Crest was granted charitable status. Initially the project was established with one of the very first lottery grants and the aim of the project was to establish a community co-operative, to help disabled and unemployed people increase their skills and gain employment – either within the co-operative or to move on to sustainable employment within the community.

Volunteer
Our volunteers are the backbone of our operation. Without them, we would be unable to help our local community in as many ways as we do. Aside from at team of volunteer support-workers working with adults with learning difficulties. We have incredible volunteers in almost every area of our organisation. From equipment repair and retail to delivery and presenting on Crest Radio.
