Adref gan End Youth Homelessness Cymru

By: End Youth Homelessness Cymru
  • Summary

  • ADREF is a podcast all about youth homelessness.

    In the years since End Youth Homelessness Cymru was founded, we’ve learned that youth homelessness is far from just a housing issue.

    So, in each episode, we speak to a range of guests - from experts in the field to young people with lived experience - about the various social and political issues that contribute to youth homelessness in Wales and beyond.

    Covering everything from the care system to accessibility to LGBTQ+ rights, ADREF aims to unpack how and why youth homelessness occurs and, most importantly, what we can do to prevent it.

  • Rural Homelessness
    Jan 15 2025
    Conversations about homelessness in the media often tend to portray it as an urban problem that predominantly manifests as rough sleeping.

    Although this is the most visible form of homelessness, it’s far from the only one. In Wales, youth homelessness manifests in rural areas just as commonly as in urban areas.

    So, to highlight this issue, we talk to CEO of GISDA, Sian Elen Tomos, the Youth Homeless Coordinator for Powys, Chris Davis, and Jessica, a young person based in Blaenau Ffestiniog, about the unique challenges of experiencing homelessness in rural parts of Wales.

    We cover topics like poverty, transport, second homes, and how these seemingly unrelated issues contribute to the presentation of youth homelessness in rural areas.

  • Care experienced young people and youth homelessness
    Dec 18 2024
    In this episode, we consider the challenges that care-experienced young people face as they navigate leaving care with Sharon Lovell, the CEO of the National Youth Advocacy Service (NYAS), Kate Phillips, who works with care-experienced young people in Torfaen, and a young person from Flintshire, Ellie, who shares her experiences of navigating youth justice, care, and homelessness, at just 18 years old.


    Although you may be busy with your festive activities this week, Christmas can be a particularly painful time for care-experienced young people, especially those who are facing homelessness - a sadly too common reality.

    So, take a moment to listen to this podcast and consider those young people this Christmas.

  • Neurodiversity and Youth Homelessness
    Dec 4 2024
    In our second episode of ADREF, we discuss the links between neurodiversity and youth homelessness.

    At EYHC we recently published our report 'Impossible to Navigate: Youth Homelessness through the lens of Neurodiversity'.

    The report was heavily influenced by our peer researchers, and we were delighted that Axe was able to join us on the podcast, as well as Caerphilly's youth homeless coordinator, Nic Davies who was also integral to the research.

    We discuss the social model of disability and explore neurodivergent young people's experiences of everyday life, their experience of navigating the homeless system and accessing services, and importantly, what needs to change to improve accessibility across Wales.
