An End Youth Homelessness Cymru Steering Group has been established which meets regularly. Its role is to:

  • provide guidance and direction to the EYHC team
  • ensure the focus of work remains resolutely on ending youth homelessness
  • maintain oversight of the Project Plan to ensure the various elements/streams of work of EYHC are delivered and necessary connections made
  • provide advocacy for ending youth homelessness in Wales informed by the work of EYHC 

The Steering Group is made up of representatives from key agencies/organisations, including: EYHC founding partners (Dewis, Gisda, Llamau, Swansea Young Single Homeless Project), Cardiff University, Cymorth Cymru, Youth Justice Board Wales, Shelter Cymru, WLGA and the Wales Centre for Public Policy, local authorities and the private sector.
