Haverfordwest Centre of Mission is based on the Merlin Bridge estate, which is a large housing estate of mostly rented council or housing association properties. In parts of the estate there is a high level of poverty, exacerbated by high levels of unemployment. Although some people have lived on the estate since it was built, there is constant movement of occupants and the area is regularly used to rehouse those who have needed additional support and are now ready to take the next step in building their independence.
