Llamau's pillars of support

Prevention

Homelessness can be prevented with timely support and intervention. By identifying those at risk of homelessness and working closely with young people, women and families in Wales, Llamau aims to help people remain or move to safe accommodation

Safe accommodation

For those experiencing homelessness, a safe and secure future is built on the safe temporary accommodation and support and skills to move on. Llamau's accommodation makes sure that young people, women and children have somewhere safe to call home

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.”
