👉 Marchnad Casnewydd, Stryd Fawr, Casnewydd NP20 1FX
👉 10am - 2pm

The Wallich has joined with Crisis and organisations across the sector, calling on James Cleverly🇬🇧 to rethink these proposals in the #CriminalJusticeBill .

The threat of fines or prison will only reinforce stigma, and make it harder to provide support to those most in need.

🚨Say no to the new Criminal Justice Bill🚨

It proposes that people in England & Wales could be fined £2.5K or jailed for sleeping rough (or even looking like they might).

Let your MP know you stand with us against the proposed law: thewallich.com/campaigns/vagr…

🚨 Dywedwch na wrth y Bil Cyfiawnder Troseddol newydd 🚨

Rhowch wybod i’ch Aelod Seneddol eich bod yn sefyll ochr yn ochr â ni yn erbyn y gyfraith arfaethedig: thewallich.com/cy/campaigns/n…

The Criminal Justice Bill sends us back to the days of the Vagrancy Act. Ministers are right to revolt against a proposal which does nothing to solve British homelessness.

Mae’n Ddiwrnod Awtistiaeth y Byd heddiw. Mae ymchwil yn dangos bod 12% o bobl ag awtistiaeth wedi bod yn ddigartref.

Mae’n bwysig bod gwasanaethau’n cael eu darparu mewn ffordd sy’n canolbwyntio ar bobl a bod ein staff yn cael eu hyfforddi i gefnogi anghenion pawb.

Today is World Autism Day. Research shows that 12% of people with autism have experienced homelessness.

It is important that services are provided in a people-centric way and that staff are trained to support everyone's needs.
