CDF Runners has adopted The Wallich as its first ever charity partner.
As a running club based in the centre of Cardiff, we can't fail to notice the shocking rise in rough sleeping on our streets. With winter drawing in and Christmas around the corner, we decided we should try and help out.
We reached out to The Wallich, a charity working with those experiencing homelessness across Wales, and we've agreed to help fundraise and raise awareness of homelessness and rough sleeping in Cardiff.
Homelessness is a hugely complicated issue, and each individual case is very rarely down to a single cause. The Wallich specialise in providing services for people with multiple, complex needs; people who, because of their high support needs, are often excluded from other services and have difficulty in accessing accommodation. The range of services The Wallich offers is as diverse as the client group they work with and the underlying aim is to ensure all people have access to support appropriate to their needs. Long term solutions, rather than short term fixes, are developed in partnership with the client.
CDF Runners will be fundraising for The Wallich for six months, taking us through to the Spring 2018 race season.
