The Wallich is doing something about homelessness. We operate under three core objectives: getting people off the streets; keeping people off the streets; and creating opportunities for people. We believe that everyone deserves the right to a home, but more than that, that everyone deserves the right to feel safe, to feel valued and to feel positive about their future.

Its not just in the cities that you see homelessness. Working for The Wallich in Carmarthenshire, I see on a daily basis the effects of not having a safe and secure place to live has on so many people. I feel passionately that no one should be without a place they call home. 

The funds we raise will go directly to Carmarthenshire floating support and housing first. We provide housing tenancy support across the Carmarthenshire area. Support to either find someone a suitable home if they are street homeless or Support and guidance in any issues that can affect their housing such as;

Financial Management 

Substance or alcohol misuse

Mental or physical health issues

Emotional welfare and tenancy/ housing management.

We depend on your support to keep doing what we do best. The figures below show a brief outline of what the money we raise could afford. 

£5.00 can provide a hot drink or warm breakfast

£43.00 can provide a bed for someone (emergency accommodation)

£50.00 can provide a counselling session

£425.00 can help someone move into their own home. 

So I have decided to take the plunge and do a tandem skydive at 12,000ft. Before the pandemic the skydive was going to take part with Guinness world record breaker, inspirational 87 year-old Dilys Price OBE. Sadly, Dilys passed away during lockdown so we will be diving in her memory. 

 Please dig deep... even a £1.00 will Make a difference. The work we do is so important and needed. Please sponsor me today and ensure The Wallich continues to offer a lifeline to people sleeping rough and helping them to take their first step out of homelessness.
