As The Wallich marks its 50th anniversary, we have an important opportunity to reflect on our history while looking firmly to the future. For five decades, we have stood alongside people experiencing homelessness across Wales, challenging injustice, amplifying voices and working to create lasting change. These roles are central to capturing that legacy. By bringing together the experiences, memories and materials that have shaped our organisation and the wider story of homelessness in Wales, this project will help ensure that voices too often overlooked are heard, valued and preserved for generations to come.

Wrth i The Wallich ddathlu ei ben-blwydd yn 50 oed, mae gennym gyfle pwysig i fyfyrio ar ein hanes ar yr un pryd ag edrych yn gadarn tuag at y dyfodol. Ers pum degawd, rydym ni wedi sefyll ochr yn ochr â phobl sy’n ddigartref ledled Cymru, gan herio anghyfiawnder, cynyddu lleisiau a gweithio i greu newid parhaol. Mae’r rÿl hon yn ganolog i gofnodi’r etifeddiaeth honno. Drwy ddod â’r profiadau, yr atgofion a'r deunyddiau sydd wedi siapio ein sefydliad a stori ehangach digartrefedd yng Nghymru at ei gilydd, bydd y prosiect hwn yn helpu i sicrhau bod lleisiau sy’n cael eu hanwybyddu’n rhy aml yn cael eu clywed, eu gwerthfawrogi a’u cadw am genedlaethau i ddod.

🎃 Our Vale Floating Support team crept along to a Halloween community event this week which welcomed many local residents at Barry Leisure Centre, who enjoyed activities for kids and grown ups alike. Events like these provide a valuable opportunity to connect with local people and share information about homelessness services, housing support, and wellbeing advice available through The Wallich.

Together, we can help ensure that more people know where to turn when support is needed.

More than a third of all deaths among prison leavers in Wales were due to drug poisoning, say Wales Governance Centre

This is higher than across England and Wales combined, where just over a fifth of total deaths were drug related.

The report also says homelessness among former prisoners in Wales is continuing to rise.

David Bennett, Head of Service Innovation for The Wallich, said: “This is an important piece of work and the Wales Governance Centre is right to shine a light on the scale of what is essentially inequality and poor opportunity in Wales. Housing, health and justice need a joined-up approach. At The Wallich, we support conversations to devolve justice and policing and will ensure this report inspires effective and integrated policy for people in Wales.

"Without co-ordinated, through the gate support which places the person at the centre, the data shows that prison leavers are being set up to fail when they re-enter society.

“Release into homelessness is unacceptable and avoidable. Most drug-related deaths are preventable if we treat drug use as a health, not criminal justice, issue. The war on drugs hasn’t worked and it is costing more lives each year.”
