At Llamau, we believe that no young person or vulnerable woman should ever have to experience homelessness. Our mission is to eradicate homelessness for young people and vulnerable women. For thousands of the most vulnerable people in Wales, homelessness is a frightening reality. Since our founding 30 years ago, we have supported over 67,000 young people, women, and their children who are either homeless or facing homelessness.
Many people think the job of a homelessness charity is to provide accommodation—a safe place to stay. But it is very clear to us that for most people facing homelessness, their problems are far more complex than a lack of permanent shelter. That's why we treat everyone who needs our support as an individual. We recognize their unique strengths and needs and make sure they are supported to rebuild their futures.
We are passionate about nurturing talent. Our senior leadership team includes colleagues who have progressed through the business from entry-level roles.
