Goldie Lookin Chain took part in a sit in protest on Tuesday to show their support for housing charities Shelter and Shelter Cymru. The band, who, as you probably all know by now, are from Newport, squished themselves into a Mini Cooper in a protest timed to coincide with Shelter's new report on the housing crisis in Wales.
Shelter Cymru's director said: "There is a housing crisis in Wales with over 53,000 people seeking help from their local authority in 2004. Overcrowding is just one of the problems children and families face. Goldie Lookin Chain have shown real support by cramming into a Mini and being temporarily uncomfortable. While this is in good fun, it brings home the reality faced by many people in poor housing. We are thrilled that they have signed up to the campaign by sitting in and not standing for bad housing."
Goldie Lookin Chain said in a statement: "Everyone should have a safe and decent home. We are happy to support Shelter Cymru and Shelter and help thousands of children and families in Wales who are suffering in bad housing today."
