Gwynedd have been using family group meetings since 1991. The service is provided by the Cwlwm Family Group Meeting Project, which is part of the work of the Cartref Bontnewydd Trust, an independent charity. Funded by the Social Services Department, all areas of child-care are considered, as are self-referrals and multi-agency referrals. The referral capacity is 35 per year. Recent developments include specific work around after-care and co-operation with 'Supporting People' around homelessness.
