Sunday 28Th July Small Nation: Big Ambition To Event Time Sunday 28th July Small nation: Big ambition to end homelessness 12:00-12:45 Host: Michael Sheen Speakers: - Jon Sparkes (CEO Crisis UK and Chair of the Welsh Government’s new Homelessness Action Group) - Katie Dalton (Director, Cymorth Cymru) Wales may be relatively small in size, but this should enable us to focus our efforts, develop the right relationships and co- ordinate our actions. With homelessness at its worst for decades, can we use our size to our advantage and come up with a plan to end homelessness? Jon Sparkes, Chief Executive of Crisis and Chair of the new Welsh Government Homelessness Action Group, will share his views on how this could be achieved. He will be joined by Katie Dalton, who will outline Cymorth Cymru’s Homeless World Cup campaign which calls on everyone to play their part in ending homelessness in Wales. Tackling Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking 13:00-13:45 Speakers: - Pete Kernoghan, Development Director for No More Traffik - Jasmin Ahmed, Regional Human Trafficking Coordinator, BAWSO Victims of modern slavery and trafficking are all too often hidden in plain sight. Modest estimates suggest that in the UK there are around 13,000 victims. The figure is likely to be much higher. Victims are some of the most vulnerable people in our communities, forced into labour, servitude and sexual abuse and deliberately targeted because of their vulnerability. While awareness is growing and reporting has increased, there is more to do and a role for each and every person to help wage war on modern slavey, from reporting concerns to making positive purchases. Join Pete Kernoghan of Northern Ireland’s No More Traffik and Jasmin Ahmed of BAWSO (Black Association of Women Step Out) for a discussion on prospects for bringing slavery and human trafficking to an end. More Than A Game: The story of how the Homeless World Cup has helped a million people worldwide 14:00-14:45 Host: Jason Mohammad Speakers: • Mel Young - Co-founder, Homeless World Cup Foundation • Homkant Surandase - Coach and Former Player, Team India (Slum Soccer) • Lisa Wrightsman - Manager and Former Player, Team USA (Street Soccer USA) • Natalie Handley - International Referee and Former Player, Team Wales (Street Football Wales) The Homeless World Cup journey takes us around the world and tells many stories on its way. Hear about the story and impact of the Homeless World Cup so far from Co-Founder Mel Young. Former Homeless World Cup players from Team Wales, India and USA will join us to share their perspectives and experiences on how football can change lives. Homelessness and the city 15.00 - 15.45 Host: Katie Dalton Speakers: - Dr Robin James Smith (Cardiff University) - Richard Edwards (Chief Executive, Huggard) Like many cities across the UK, Cardiff has seen an increase in rough sleeping, with outreach services working throughout the day and night to support people off the streets and into housing. Cardiff University’s Dr Robin James Smith will be sharing his research and views on the relationship between urban spaces, people’s experiences of street homelessness and the provision of outreach services. He will be joined by Richard Edwards, Chief Executive of the Huggard Centre, who will share his view from the coalface, supporting people in Cardiff through the provision of advocacy, health services, emergency shelter, temporary accommodation and supported housing. Stand up to homelessness with Sara Pascoe 17.30 – 18.15 Sara Pascoe is a highly acclaimed comedian, writer and actor and we're thrilled she's performing a stand-up set at the Homeless World Cup. Her extensive TV credits include the BBC solo stand-up special LadsLadsLads; BBC2's Frankie Boyle's New World Order, on which she is a weekly guest contributor; and Comedians Giving Lectures on Dave, which she hosts. She wrote and performed the BBC Radio 4 series Modern Monkey and the BBC2 short Sara Pascoe vs Monogamy, which was inspired by her first book Animal. Tuesday 30th July Kindness Matters 17.00-17.45 - Douglas White (Carnegie UK) - Revd Aled Edwards - Charlotte Waite (Kindness Matters Cardiff) Can small acts of kindness change lives? Is altruism now a rare commodity? What sorts of kindness make a difference to someone living on the streets? Join activist, writer and Cytûn Chief Executive Reverend Aled Edwards, Carnegie UK Trust’s Douglas White and Kindness Matters Cardiff’s Charlotte Waite to explore the practice and meaning of kindness, ways to encourage it and how it can shape the world around us for the better. Shreds: The story of the Cardiff Five 18:00-18:45 Host: Michael Sheen Speakers: - Ceri Jackson (BBC Wales) - John Actie - Tony Paris - Kervin Julien Valentine’s Day 1988: 20-year-old Lynette White is brutally murdered in a flat in Cardiff’s docklands. A man is seen crouched in the doorway of the murder scene. He is crying; his hands covered in blood. Fifty detectives hunt the ‘distinctive white man’ whose likeness is flashed across newspapers and TV. Why 10 months later were five black men rounded up and charged? What unfolded over the next 30 years is a take so scandalous you'd be forgiven for thinking it was a work of fiction. What is the true cost of the notorious ‘Cardiff Five’ miscarriage of justice? On individuals, society and the street? Thursday 1st August The Guilty Feminist 17:30 – 18:45 Deborah Frances-White This event is a live recording, so all guests must be in their seats by 5.15pm and remain there until 6.45pm.

Her book, The Guilty Feminist is a Sunday Times Best Seller and she has made appearances on Have I Got News For You, Mock the Week and The News Quiz.

Saturday 3rd August Unlocking the stories that can tackle the injustice of poverty and homelessness 12:00-12:45 Join award-winning novelists Kerry Hudson and Mahsuda Snaith to explore the role of storytelling in trying to shift attitudes and build support for action on poverty and homelessness. Reading from their latest books, Lowborn and How To Find Home, both will reflect on how their own experiences have shaped their work, as well as the challenges and opportunities of the stories told about people and places trapped in poverty. The event will be chaired by Abigail Scott Paul, Deputy Director of Advocacy and Public Engagement at the Joseph Rowntree Foundation. From prison to pavement: homelessness and criminal justice 13:00-13:45 Host: Felicity Evans Speakers: - Leanne Wood AM (Shadow Minister for Housing and former probation officer) - Bonnie Navarra (former Assistant Police and Crime Commissioner) - Linsday Cordery-Bruce (CEO, The Wallich) Stable accommodation is a critical factor in reducing re-offending, yet a quarter of prisoners serving short sentences in England and Wales are released into homelessness. So why aren’t we doing more to break this cycle? BBC Wales Political Editor Felicity Evans will chair this discussion with three people who have experience of working in homelessness, probation and policing. Former probation officer Leanne Wood is now shaping political debate as Plaid Cymru’s Shadow Minister for Housing, Lindsay Cordery-Bruce leads homelessness charity The Wallich, and Bonnie Navarra is shaping future generations following her role as Assistant Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales.
