About
For many years, The Wallich has been known as ‘the breakfast run’ in Cardiff City Centre. But as times have moved on, so have we.
We now operate on assertive outreach principles in partnership with Cardiff Council.
Our support
- Housing advice
- Referrals to supported accommodation
- Benefits advice
- Referrals for all types of healthcare
- Referrals to substance misuse centres
Both teams work directly with people on the streets, going to people where they are to offer homelessness support.
Our team of specialists work every day to engage with people sleeping rough or living a street-based lifestyle to take the first step out of homelessness.
