Registered Community Interest Company · No. 17580759
Supporting adults across Reading & Wokingham, Berkshire
About us
Synergy Care & Housing CIC was set up for one reason: too many adults in Berkshire are caught between a home they cannot sustain and support that does not quite reach them. We hold both sides of that equation.
Most people who come to us are not in crisis. They are on the way back from one — a hospital stay, a placement that was more than they needed, a family situation that has changed, or a first tenancy that felt overwhelming.
What they need is ordinary and specific at the same time: a decent, safe home; a tenancy they understand; and someone who turns up on a Tuesday to help them sort out a benefit letter, a GP appointment, or the food shop. Support that is real enough to matter, and light enough to leave room for independence.
That is the “synergy” in our name. Safe housing without support can collapse quickly. Support without a stable home has nowhere to land. We do both, with clear boundaries about who does what.
“Independence is not something we hand someone. It is something we create the conditions for — and then step back from.”
Registered details
Community Interest Company status is not a badge. It is a legal structure that changes where the money goes — and who the organisation ultimately answers to.
Our assets and any surplus are permanently dedicated to community benefit. They cannot be distributed to private shareholders, and if the company were ever wound up, the assets would pass to another organisation with a similar community purpose.
We report on our social value each year. Our community is the adults we house and support in Reading and Wokingham, their families, and the public bodies who fund their care.
We work in Reading and Wokingham, with local knowledge of the housing market, transport links, GP surgeries and the community groups people want to join.
Four commitments that shape every decision, from who we house to how quickly we respond to a repair request.
