  1. Our Work
  2. What We Do

What We Do

We believe that we all have the right to fulfil our potential, and to feel safe and secure, despite the difficult circumstances we sometimes face.

Llamau is the leading homelessness charity in Wales, supporting the most vulnerable young people and women. We are particularly well known for working with those most at risk - care leavers, people who have been involved with the criminal justice system, people who have experienced domestic abuse and people who have had chaotic and disadvantaged lifestyles. They need high levels of individual support to help them gain the skills necessary for them to live independent and purposeful lives in their communities.

At Llamau, we never give up on anyone.

"When I feel depressed or sad I talk with my worker and I feel good when I talk with them. They are helpful and give me loads of support and advice."
