 Cardiff Street Carers' Partnership Over the last few months, the large numbers of Christians who are involved with caring for the homeless and vulnerable people on the streets of Cardiff city centre have been asked to form a partnership with Cardiff Council, with a view to integrating and developing the service for needy people.The total number of people involved in this kind of ministry is over 200, from many churches and Christian organisations. An over-arching body has been formed, called the "Street Carers' Forum", and they have agreed a vision, mission and objectives. They have also appointed a representative group to meet regularly with the Council officers, to plan the developments (you may wish to read the excellent 'blog' created by one of the group http://cardiffstreetcarers.blogspot.com/). The first step has been to shape an induction evening for all Street Carers, hoping to pilot it within months, and with a view to offering it regularly so that all Street Carers can be trained for their role on the streets. The Council officers are also writing a proposal to the Council Executive, recommending that the Street Carers' Forum becomes an approved partner in relation to work in this area.
