Hi, we are Llamau 👋 Did you know? Last year 6,420 young people presented as homeless in Wales. That's 6,420 children and teens who don't even have a bed to call their own 💔

We're on a mission to change that. Follow us and share - together we'll end youth homelessness in Wales for good!

Picture of a young person with the text 'Who are we?' 'Since 1986 Llamau has been dedicated to ending homelessness and domestic abuse for young people and women in Wales.'

Picture of a young person Llamau supports with the text 'What do we do?' 'We offer safe accommodation, education and specialist services that help individuals rebuild their lives.'

Picture of a young person Llamau supports with the text 'How do we do it?' 'With a compassionate, trauma-informed approach. Last year we supported over 5000 young people in Wales with early intervention, prevention, safe home and move on services.'

Being homeless affects every part of life. Sleeping outside or moving between sofas is exhausting, and mental health issues can easily take hold💔 Facing all this while studying or working is more than most could handle.

When was the last time you asked your parents or friends for help? We know that the journey out of homelessness relies on building bridges and creating a support network and it's proven to work 💙
