A network of local churches is providing support for rough sleepers in Caerphilly County Borough.
The Caerphilly Churches Night Shelter scheme sees Caerphilly County Borough Council working with seven churches in the Blackwood and Caerphilly area to provide a safe place to stay for those in need.
This year’s scheme runs through to Friday March 28.
The initiative sees each church provide cover for one night a week – offering up to six rough sleepers a warm meal, a safe place of rest and breakfast in the morning before leaving.
Rough sleepers must be referred and cannot arrive unannounced.
