  7. Swansea restaurant boss dishes up festive kindness with hot meals for homeless

    The owner of Rasoi Indian Kitchen in Pontlliw and Rasoi Waterfront in SA1 delivered almost 50 freshly cooked meals on Wednesday 17 December to two city projects run by homelessness charity The Wallich.

    The meals were shared at the Gorwelion Project on Gore Terrace and the Ty Tom Jones Project on Alexandra Road, both of which provide safe accommodation and vital support for people who have experienced, or are at risk of, homelessness.

    “Christmas is about kindness”

    Speaking about the gesture, Suki said:

    “No one should feel forgotten at this time of year. Christmas is about kindness, and we hope that a warm meal helps bring some comfort to people who really deserve a moment of joy. Our staff were amazing as always — they jumped at the chance to get involved and we’re proud to continue to support our community in this way.”

    Rasoi staff and volunteers stand behind a buffet of freshly prepared Indian dishes, ready to serve hot meals to people experiencing homelessness in Swansea.

    Charity hails timely boost

    Staff at The Wallich said Rasoi’s gesture offered a welcome lift at one of the toughest times of year.

    Mark Winston, Area Manager for The Wallich, said:

    “Christmas can be an especially challenging and emotional time for people who have experienced homelessness. Acts of kindness like this remind people that their community cares about them. We’re incredibly grateful to Rasoi for stepping in once again to support our projects in Swansea.”

    Rasoi’s reputation for giving back

    Rasoi’s ongoing commitment to community support has earned the restaurants a reputation for generosity, with regular backing for local charities and initiatives throughout the year.

    Suki added:

    “It really is our pleasure and ethos to give back to our local community, and we are so grateful to help a very deserving cause. We hope this helps to raise awareness of the excellent work being carried out by The Wallich here in our city — especially at this time of year.”

  8. Swansea man jailed after sending sexual messages to decoy account he believed was a child

    Believed he was speaking to a child

    Christopher Jones, 55, of Swansea’s SA1 Waterfront, exchanged explicit messages with an account he believed belonged to a girl under 16. In reality, the account was a decoy run by an independent online child protection team.

    Jones pleaded guilty to attempting to incite a girl aged 13–15 to engage in sexual activity and attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child.

    He was sentenced to 28 months in prison.

    Police response

    Detective Constable Tim Davies of South Wales Police said Jones’s behaviour showed he posed a clear risk to children.

    “Christopher Jones’s messages to the decoy account were abhorrent and it was clear that he believed he was speaking to a young teenager.

    People like Christopher quite clearly pose a risk to the safety of children, and it is highly fortunate that the person on the other side of the conversation was a decoy rather than a real child.

    He will no longer be able to pose that risk now that he is heading for prison.”

    DC Davies added that there is “absolutely no defence, justification, or excuse for the horrific crime of child sexual abuse.”

    Support for survivors

    Police said they recognise how difficult it can be for survivors of sexual abuse to come forward, but stressed that victims will be listened to, treated with dignity and respect, and supported throughout the judicial process.

    Anyone affected by sexual abuse who is not yet ready to report to police is encouraged to seek help from specialist support services.

  9. Youth ASB reports fall in Swansea’s SA1 after summer crackdown

    From noisy nights to quieter streets

    In recent summers, people living around the docks complained of large groups gathering, shouting late into the night, jumping into the water, throwing objects and riding bikes dangerously. Police say those problems have eased, with reports of anti‑social behaviour falling from 34 in 2022 to 29 this year — despite another warm summer. In August, just one incident was logged, compared with nine in 2022.

    Police and partners change tactics

    South Wales Police credit the fall to a multi‑agency approach. Officers increased patrols in the docks and SA1, supported by Special Constables, and held regular “Cuppa with a Copper” sessions so residents could raise concerns face‑to‑face.

    At the same time, diversionary activities were offered to young people. These included sports sessions run by Ospreys in the Community, the outreach arm of the region’s professional rugby team; day trips organised by EVOLVE, a youth engagement programme; and free tickets to the LC2 leisure centre.

    Building confidence among residents

    Police also worked with local businesses and apartment complexes to provide reassurance and encourage reporting through the South Wales Listens platform.

    Inspector Andrew Price, South Wales Police, said: “Residents of SA1 should not have to put up with any level of anti‑social behaviour as they go about their daily business. It is pleasing to see that the data shows the operation is having a positive effect.”
