OUR EXPERIENCES
In Cardiff we have three guides who have all experienced homelessness:
- Jonny with his street poem tour. Discover a city of protests, pirates and places, for a tour like no other and listen to some of Jonny's poems along the way
- Larysa's tour of Cardiff Bay. Originally from the Ukraine, Larysa is passionate about the art and will go through the history of the Bay, with some of her own story along the way.
- John's Monopoly Tour with academic history but also fun content, this is for those who likea good history tour with a twist!

ABOUT US
Invisible Cities offers alternative walking tours that have been designed by guides who have all experienced homelessness. After completing their training based on transferable skills (Public speaking, customer service, etc) they can take you on a tour of their city, to go beyond the postcards and discover stories you never knew about!

OUR IMPACT
Our Impact is a three fold:
- Through the training and employment of people who have experienced homelessness in the city. To date we have trained 130 people, some of them have been employed as guides but all have been supported to reach positive destinations.
- By breaking down the stigma that exists around homelessness. Through our tours we showcase that everyone has a story to tell and great skills to share
- Through the events and campaigns we organise for our communities. From free community tours, to self care packages we work with a network of other organisations to create local impact.
