WRC do vital work for a community whose struggles are too often misrepresented by political actors attempting to fuel a culture war. This is an example of how online misinformation creates real danger towards ordinary people, and why it's so important to be vigilant about information we see online.

We're deeply disturbed to see our colleagues at Welsh Refugee Council be subjected to online abuse due to a false, inflammatory claim retweeted by Elon Musk on X.

Mae CFC yn gwneud gwaith hanfodol ar gyfer cymuned y mae ei brwydrau'n cael eu camliwio'n rhy aml gan actorion gwleidyddol yn ceisio hybu rhyfel diwylliant. Gall camwybodaeth ar-lein greu perygl gwirioneddol i bobl gyffredin, a pham ei bod yn bwysig i fod yn wyliadwrus am y wybodaeth gwelwn ar-lein.

Rydym yn gythryblus iawn i weld bod ein cydweithwyr yng Nghyngor Ffoaduriaid Cymru yn cael eu cam-drin ar-lein oherwydd honiad ffug ac ymfflamychol a gafodd ei 'retweetio' gan Elon Musk ar X.

The full report will be published in early 2025 but, in the meantime, you can read more of the preliminary findings here:

Navy blue background with a red stripe at the bottom. EYHC Logo in top left corner. In the top right, a title reads 'YOUNG PEOPLE IN TA'. Below that is a graph with two bars . The green bar on the left, which is smaller, represents 2017/18 and the larger pink bar on the right represents 2023/24. The green bar is labelled '66 days' and the pink bar is labelled '113 days'. Text to the left of the graph reads: 'Since 2017, there has been a 71% increase in the average number of days 18-25 year-old homeless young people spend in temporary accommodation'. Below this is the Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and TikTok logos. Below reads: @endyouthhomelessnesscymru www.endyouthhomelessness.cymru

So, through a series of FOI requests, we found that there has been a 71% increase in the average time 18-25 year-olds are spending in TA, and an increase of 35% for 16-17 year olds.

Text reads: We submitted Freedom of Information Act Requests to all 22 Welsh Local Authorities, inquiring about the number of 16-17 and 18-25 year-olds, along with their average time spent in temporary accommodation (TA). 9 LAs gave a full response. 8 gave a partial response. 4 do not hold the data. 1 did not reply. Here's what we found...

The EYHC Coalition was established in 2017 on the back of a campaign that prohibited the use of unsupported Temporary Accommodation (TA) for 16-17 year-olds experiencing homelessness.

Almost 8 years later, we wanted to establish a picture of the realities of TA for young people today.

Mae'r bar gwyrdd ar y chwith, sy'n llai, yn cynrychioli 2017/18 ac mae'r bar pinc mwy ar y dde yn cynrychioli 2023/24. Mae'r bar gwyrdd wedi'i labelu fel '66 diwrnod' ac mae'r bar pinc wedi'i labelu fel '113 diwrnod'. Mae'r testun i'r chwith o'r graff yn darllen'Since 2017, there has been a 35% increase in the average number of days 16-17 year-old homeless young people spend in temporary accommodation'.

Felly, trwy gyfres o geisiadau Rhyddid Gwybodaeth, canfuom y bu cynnydd o 71% yn y defnydd o TA ar gyfer pobl ifanc 18-25 oed, a chynnydd o 35% ar gyfer pobl ifanc 16-17 oed.

Here's what we found...

Sefydlwyd Clymblaid EYHC yn 2017 ar gefn ymgyrch a oedd yn gwahardd defnyddio Llety Dros Dro heb gymorth ar gyfer pobl ifanc 16-17 oed a oedd yn ddigartref.

Bron i wyth mlynedd yn ddiweddarach, roeddem am sefydlu darlun o realiti Llety Dros Dro i bobl ifanc heddiw.

Hoffai’r Athro anghymharol Pete Mackie siarad â chi am ein Efelychiad Cyfiawnder Ieuenctid, a gyflwynwyd gennym ym Mangor yr wythnos hon 🐐
