Unable to escape the harsh weather conditions and forced to sleep under the stars, many homeless and vulnerable people\u00a0are at risk of serious illnesses as they are forced to contend with the elements without any kind of long-term shelter or security.<br \/>\nHere in Cardiff, about 1,341 people are in temporary accommodation and council statistics indicate\u00a0there are only about 34 rough sleepers in the city, a figure some homeless charities think may be an underestimate.<br \/>\nLuckily, there are some kind Cardiffians\u00a0willing to help.<br \/>\nFrom December to March, the\u00a0Cardiff Christian Night Shelter group\u00a0runs a project to keep homeless people from sleeping on the streets.<br \/>\nVulnerable people can turn up, enjoy a hot meal, and stay overnight in a number of community buildings and churches, many of which also provide other services including clothes banks and community activities like singing and bread-making, all of which is\u00a0free.<br \/>\nThe system runs so that one site stays open\u00a0for each\u00a0night of the\u00a0week to provide shelter from the cold weather. Many of the shelters\u00a0involved in the scheme open on other nights to provide food too.<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s nothing to determine who comes in, and the voluntary staff are more than willing to chat and provide food for whoever wants it.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8447\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8447\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_0487.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8447\" src=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_0487-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"The upstairs room in the Tavs Centre provides safety for a number of homeless people, away from the cold weather\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8447\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8447\" src=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_0487-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"The upstairs room in the Tavs Centre provides safety for a number of homeless people, away from the cold weather\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> <strong>Upstairs in the Tavs Centre.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\nElwyn Davies, a Cardiff teacher who volunteers in the Tavs Centre in Roath, explained why he helps out.<br \/>\n&#8220;In this weather, some of them just want to sleep. Lots of these guys have got places, but if money&#8217;s tight then food&#8217;s not easy to come by so we just provide a little extra help.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I&#8217;ve come across four former pupils in my time here, people who I taught when they were\u00a0kids and it&#8217;s sad to see them in here, but we always do what we can to lend a hand.&#8221;<br \/>\nPhil, another volunteer who chose not to reveal his full name, said: &#8220;This place is really unique.\u00a0I was chatting to a guy who&#8217;s been in and out of prison for years and he was telling me that he used to break into places, but he never stole anything.<br \/>\n&#8220;People would ask him &#8216;why aren&#8217;t you taking anything&#8217; but his answer was always the same.\u00a0He&#8217;d say that he used to sit in the chairs and just look around the room, looking at all the family photos and just imagine that they were his family.<br \/>\n&#8220;That&#8217;s what this place is. It&#8217;s a family.&#8221;<br \/>\nMany volunteers are members of local churches and have been helping at centres across the city for years, ensuring there are provisions for homeless people during winter.<br \/>\nPhil said: &#8220;I managed to buy a projector and some speakers and a massive screen, so my goal is to get it all set up to show the Six Nations here in a few weeks.&#8221;<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8446\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8446\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_0485.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-8446 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_0485-e1453823617918-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0485\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8446\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8446 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_0485-e1453823617918-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0485\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> <strong>Visitors to\u00a0the Tavs Centre can\u00a0take three items of clothing<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\nThe Tavs Centre in Roath opens on Sunday and Monday evenings to provide a free hot meal\u00a0and there is also a community choir that practices and performs there. About\u00a040 people turn up each night for food and they can take three items of clothing per week from the donations the churches receive. Board games\u00a0are provided for people to use.<br \/>\nOn Wednesdays the centre opens overnight to\u00a0provide shelter and there are often 10-15 people who stay.<br \/>\nMoney often comes from church collections and fundraising initiatives but further generosity from the people of Cardiff would be greatly appreciated.<br \/>\n<strong>How you can help?<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8220;If you&#8217;ve got the skills yourself or you know a hairdresser or a chiropodist, come along and see what we do for yourselves,&#8221; said Phil.<br \/>\n&#8220;We would love someone who could help with CVs or debt management, because waiting lists for debt management\u00a0companies in Cardiff can be over six months long.&#8221;<br \/>\nGareth, who has used the Cardiff centres on-and-off for around 10 years, said: &#8220;These places are great for people who are a bit down on their luck.<br \/>\n&#8220;I didn&#8217;t know about these places for ages when I was sleeping rough so if people see someone out on the street looking a bit cold and hungry, they need to let them know about places like these.<br \/>\n&#8220;I&#8217;ve got an interview this week so I&#8217;ve picked up a few shirts to wear for it and had a hot meal, all for nothing. You can&#8217;t ask for more than that.&#8221;<br \/>\nAnyone is welcome to come along and help out. &#8220;What else are you going to do on a Monday night? Watch Corrie?&#8221; said Phil.<br \/>\n&#8220;I&#8217;ve never come away from here and thought it was a waste of time. People are so grateful and you make some amazing friends in here &#8211; I really can&#8217;t see why I&#8217;d ever stop coming to be honest.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Cardiff homeless support centres:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Monday<\/strong>\u00a0 &#8211; Grangetown Baptist Church, Clive St<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Tuesday<\/strong>\u00a0 &#8211; Salem Chapel, Market Road, Canton<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Wednesday &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Tavs Centre, Tavistock St, Off City Rd<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Thursday \u00a0&#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>Calvary Baptist Church, Cowbridge Rd East<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Friday &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0St Peters Youth Hall \u2013 Bedford St, Off City Rd<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Saturday &#8211;<\/strong>\u00a0City Temple, Cowbridge Rd East<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Sunday<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; 7<sup>th<\/sup> Day Adventists, Cowbridge Rd East<\/p>\n<p><strong>Donations can be made to:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Meet Jesus Here Ministries \u2013 Mark donation \u201cHomeless\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Account Number: 00203832<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Sort Code: 30-92-07<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of a Cardiffian special on homelessness WILL KIRBY\u00a0takes a look at the work being done at the Tavs Centre in Roath When we got past Christmas and had only had a handful of frosty mornings, most of us thought we&#8217;d escaped the grim, cold and wet conditions we&#8217;ve come to expect from a British winter.
