Removing the stigma around homelessness

With Homelessness, The Crisis On Our Doorstep as her theme, President Ruth was delighted to welcome Romy Wood from Housing Justice Cymru to join our June meeting.

Housing Justice Cymru is a housing need and homelessness charity, launched in Wales in 2016. Housing and Homelessness are devolved issues in Wales and are the responsibility of the Welsh Government.

As the only non-denominational Christian housing charity currently working in Wales, they work with and support people belonging to all faiths and communities. In addition to her work with the charity, Romy Wood is an associate lecturer with the Open University and author. Romy gave an interesting talk about the work of the charity, illustrated with stories of recent beneficiaries and the issues they have faced.
