The Huggard Centre
The Huggard Centre is a Cardiff-based charity tackling homelessness and seeking to overcome the problems and barriers that force individuals to sleep rough on our streets.
The Huggard Centre's focus is around a modern day centre open 365 days of the year, a 22 bed hostel with additional (8 Pods and floorspace for over 20 clients) emergency spaces and 14 shared houses with tenant support that accommodate 53 clients.
In extreme weather conditions they also open their day centre at night to over 20 homeless and vulnerable, to provide shelter for people who would otherwise be forced to sleep rough.
This is all underpinned by personal and tenant support, development, advocacy, training and many volunteering and work-focussed opportunities.
Cardiff Bay Rotary arranges a Christmas collection of food and responds to requests received from time to time.
