STREET AID WALES
We engage with homeless people and provide essential items needed to help them survive on the streets through all weathers, signposting to other charities that can help them further by offering shelter and support to assist them to complete benefit, housing and other forms. We provide essential food items, sleeping bags, clothing, toiletries and sanitary products and a supportive ear.
