JOHN PUZEY has been director of Shelter Cymru for 30 years. And he’s delighted that the Homeless World Cup event has come to Cardiff: “It’s a fantastic opportunity to raise the issue, and especially the fact that it isn’t only street homelessness. There are families with children, for example, who have no decent home.”
