The charity is currently fundraising to buy equipment so that we can stream our ‘Cooking on a Budget’ lessons to locations in Powys, to help more people learn ways to feed themselves and their families cheaply and healthily when living in financial hardship.

Covid-19 has compounded the homelessness crisis and our need for Delivery Drivers to transport life saving essentials to our Street Teams has accelerated. We urgently need organised, self-confident drivers to strengthen our Logistics Team.

Helping our Homeless Wales has been awarded a grant from the Darkley Trust towards the costs of sleep pods, food containers and cups, and towards continuing a craft group for the vulnerable and those struggling with mental health or poverty.

The team has been supporting local schools with period poverty tins. We made up these tins with nice gifts for the girls, so that periods were not the only thing that they had to face, but the gifts meant that they had some nice things also.

A 24-hour streamed DJ set by DJ Max Galactic ran from 8pm on Friday 5 February to 8pm on Saturday 6 February to raise funds for Helping our Homeless Wales.

Helping our Homeless Wales will be ensuring that everyone on our books, whether street homeless or in financial hardship, will receive an Easter egg this year.

Helping our Homeless Wales asks our supporters to nominate us for Dunelm Bridgend’s Community Support.

With all the support needed locally, we’re running a free food pantry, open daily in Builth Wells. If you’re in need, come along and bring a bag or a box. We also welcome donations of food and essential items.
