Cardiff homelessness: 'No hope' for man living in tent
More tents are appearing on Cardiff's busy shopping streets, but the head of a shelter has said people could be hindering homeless people's prospects by donating them.
Chief executive of the Huggard Centre in Butetown, Richard Edwards, said people living in tents were not as likely to accept help and were at risk of being exploited.
Cardiff council said it was looking to "find a way forward" after the increase in the number of tents.
Homeless people told BBC Wales what it was like living on the streets.
