The Salvation Army will be hosting an event in Cardiff later to mark the 10 year anniversary of an alcohol and drug addiction treatment programme.

The Bridge Programme, based at Ty Gobaith Lifehouse in the capital, was set up in 2005 to address the complex needs of homeless people with substance misuse issues.

Each service user has a say in how their treatment is delivered and aims to resettle people in stable and suitable accommodation

Wales' Deputy Health Minister Vaughan Gething will be attending the event at the Norwegian Church Arts Centre in Cardiff Bay as a guest speaker.
