Ty Castell

Supported housing for people affected by homelessness in Briton Ferry

Residents are supported to gain independent living skills before moving on to more permanent housing.

People who live with us in temporary accommodation have been affected by homelessness.

There are 7 residential units at Ty Castell; each with its own fridge and en-suite bathroom.

Residents at Ty Castell have access to a communal kitchen and dining area, outdoor area and laundry facilities.

The building is central to Briton Ferand close to local amenities.

Our support

Ty Castell is staffed to ensure safety and support for residents and the local community is at the forefront, at all times.

Ty Castell is supported by The Wallich’s Neath Port Talbot Prevention and Wellbeing Service.

While we provide a roof over someone’s head and the basics to move in, The Wallich also works with people on setting goals for their future.

We work with people to identify what skills, relationships and confidence they could develop.

Anyone living at Ty Castell has access to other The Wallich services, such as our in-house counselling service called the Reflections Network.

Workshops and skills building activities such as cooking and budgeting take place regularly and help with communal living.

Staff at Ty Castell ensure there are also transformative activities to improve wellbeing, as well as house meetings to mediate relationships and co-produce fun activities.

The Wallich believes that homeless and vulnerable people are individuals with varied and different support needs.

It is proven that their successful recovery can be benefited by living in a Psychologically Informed Environment (PIE).

We want to provide innovative and trauma-informed services, like Ty Castell in Briton Ferry, and match people as best we can to support which suits them.
