About Us

We are The Wallich. We’re doing something about homelessness in Wales.
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.

The Wallich operates under three core objectives: getting people off the streets; keeping people off the streets; and creating opportunities for people.

Our Mission

1. Getting people off the streets

Our Rough Sleepers Intervention Teams (RSIT) continue to help the most vulnerable and chaotic homeless people on our streets by providing outreach in the form of hot food, advice, referrals and pathways out of homelessness.

2. Keeping people off the streets

Our accommodation and support consists of residential projects in which we temporarily support people in accommodation that we also manage.

These include direct access hostels, emergency night shelters and accommodation for people with specific issues such as substance misuse or mental health issues.

3. Creating opportunities for people

Our learning and employment projects are a range of services to encourage the people we support to use their current skills or gain new ones in order to get back into volunteering, education or employment.

We provide training courses, volunteering opportunities and practical workshops to support people to become work-ready.

Our Vision

A Wales where people stand together to provide hope, support and solutions to end homelessness.

We are tireless in our commitment to achieving this vision alongside our staff, our partner agencies, and most importantly alongside the people we support.
