The Homelessness and Social Housing Allocation (Wales) Bill was unanimously voted into law yesterday. We were pleased to see cross-party support for these important reforms. This new law is the result of years of united efforts across the sector to make a big shift towards preventing homelessness.

This Welsh Charities Week, we’re proud to stand with charities across Wales changing lives every day. At The Wallich, we support people facing homelessness to find safety, stability and hope - made possible by our supporters, partners and communities. Diolch 💜 @wcvacymru.bsky.social

Sexual Violence Awareness Week is a time to listen, learn and stand with survivors. At The Wallich, we know trauma and sexual violence are often linked to homelessness. That’s why trauma-informed support is central to our work. Everyone deserves safety, belief and support. 💜

Thank you for standing with us this winter. Because of your incredible support, YOU raised an amazing £56,270, helping people across Wales during the coldest and most challenging months of the year. Together, we’re moving closer to a Wales without homelessness.

Behind every statistic is a person. Every day, people across Wales face the reality of homelessness and every day, change is possible. The Wallich works alongside people facing homelessness to provide stability, dignity and hope. 🔗 Read our latest annual report: thewallich.com/impact-walli...

Huge congratulations to all the amazing runners who tackled the Cardiff Half Marathon on Sunday to raise money for The Wallich. 🥳 We saw your grit and determination – to get to the finish line, but also to make a difference for others. Thank you for turning compassion into action. 💜

Pob lwc pawb. Let's do this! #CardiffHalf @thewallich.bsky.social @ukrunchat.bsky.social

How do we talk to children about homelessness? - Be honest but keep it age appropriate - Humanise people on the streets - Highlight positive actions: share stories of people and charities who are making a difference 💜 Teach kindness. Build empathy. Support change.

Hello Bridgend! We’re in need of sleeping bags for people who use our services - essential warmth as autumn gets chillier. Your kindness can make a huge difference 💜 Drop in donations to 10 Park Street, Bridgend, CF31 4AX or call 01656 674 184 for collection in Bridgend.

🧵Why recovery looks different for everyone Abstinence-based recovery is vital and works for many people. But for others, recovery looks quite different. Recovery means taking more control over their lives but that may not be complete abstinence.
