Llamau's pillars of support

Prevention

With timely support and intervention, homelessness can be prevented. Llamau works with young people, women and children in Wales to help them remain in, or move to, safe accommodation.

Safe accommodation

For people experiencing homelessness, safe and secure accommodation is the foundation to a brighter future. Llamau’s accommodation ensures that young people, women and children have somewhere secure and homely to stay.

Moving on

Llamau supports young people, women and children not just in their immediate need for safe accommodation, but in building confidence, capacity and skills for a future free from homelessness. For young people this includes supportive, inclusive programmes to increase wellbeing, provide education and skills, and improve employability.

Rhiannon’s Story

When Rhiannon arrived at Tŷ Pride in March 2021, she was 20 years old and facing homelessness. Her family’s struggle to accept her gender identity had left her without a safe place to stay.

Rhiannon stands outside the Wales Millennium Centre smiling
“Stand up for yourself and who you are.”
