Edwina Hart AM, Minister for Business Enterprise Technology and Skills, visited the Cyrenians Employment Support Agency in Mansel St.,
Swansea in the week before Christmas.
She chatted with staff and those who had recently been helped from homelessness and difficult circumstances back into permanent
employment; one of whom, thanks to start-up help from the Cyrenians, is now running her own successful catering business in Swansea.
A new report published by Crisis in December 2011, and based on research from the University of Sheffield, ‘Homelessness – the Silent Killer’, determines the average life expectancy of a homeless man as 47 years, and a homeless woman as 43.
