The Wallich – Supporting People Off the Streets and Beyond

Across Wales, homelessness is a growing reality. Some people are sleeping rough. Others are living in temporary accommodation without long-term security.

Through the work of The Wallich, individuals receive support to leave the streets and begin building a more stable future.

For those sleeping rough, support often starts with outreach. Access to food, advice and basic provisions can be the first step towards engaging with services and finding a way forward.

Safe spaces, such as drop-in centres, offer somewhere to wash, rest and connect with support. They also provide a break from the uncertainty of life on the streets.

For others, the focus is on preventing homelessness or maintaining stability. Accommodation and ongoing support help people manage challenges such as poor mental health or substance use. This reduces the risk of returning to crisis.

Moving forward is not always easy. It can take time to rebuild trust, develop new skills and find the right opportunities. Through training, volunteering and employment support, individuals can regain confidence and reconnect with their communities.

Support is shaped alongside the people who use these services. A trauma-informed and collaborative approach ensures individuals are heard and involved.

The Wallich continues to provide vital services across Wales, responding to growing demand.
