About us
Our mission is to end youth homelessness and homelessness for women in Wales. That’s because the causes of homelessness for young people and women are different, and we therefore need specific solutions. Our mission is a big ambition and to some people it might seem impossible. But at Llamau, we are daring to imagine a world without homelessness, and are determined to achieve it. That’s because we genuinely believe that homelessness is not inevitable. It really doesn’t have to exist. We’ve been supporting people in Wales to move on from homelessness for almost 35 years, and we’ve developed a huge understanding of the causes of homelessness. Too often, for the people we’ve supported, there have been multiple opportunities to prevent homelessness before it happened. Too often, those opportunities have been missed. Since we were founded in 1986, we’ve supported over 94,000 people and while we’re happy to celebrate the achievements of everyone we’ve supported, we’re disappointed and angry that so many people have needed our support. Ultimately we want to see an end to youth homelessness and homelessness for women in Wales. So just imagine if we all came together to create a Wales without homelessness. Just imagine the possibilities that would bring. Just imagine the part you could play.

Thank you to everyone who came to Llamau's International Women’s Day event, in partnership with Women in Property Wales. The brilliant speakers included Llamau’s CEO Sam Austin and Principality’s CEO Julie-Ann Haines as well as a panel of experts discussing how we can accelerate women in society and the workplace. Events like these are so important for raising awareness of how homelessness affects women. Big thank you to Compass Cymru and Cardiff City Stadium for Hosting and Principality Building Society for sponsoring.

This morning, Associate Bethan Tapper spoke at a panel event for International Women’s Day at Cardiff City Stadium. The event was hosted by Llamau and Women in Property Wales and sponsored by Principality Building Society. The theme of this year's International Women's Day, ‘Accelerate Action’, guided the discussion, where Bethan highlighted how our collaboration with Llamau and the provision of our Pro Bono legal clinic help to advance and protect women’s rights. Other panellists included representatives from Llamau, who spoke about the incredible work the organisation does to support women and young people experiencing homelessness. #AccelerateAction #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2025

I really enjoyed attending the Women in Property Wales International Women's Day 2025 event this morning in partnership with Llamau at Cardiff City Stadium. It was really eye opening and humbling to hear all the important work that Llamau do as a charity around South Wales and the life changing impacts they have on the lives of women and young people. Particularly helping those that have suffered from domestic abuse. It was quite shocking to hear some of the stats relating to cases of domestic abuse and some of the stories behind them. Wardell Armstrong LLP (part of SLR) have donated to the charity in recent years, so it was great to hear some examples of how donations can help support them do their important work.

The news is so grim ATM and I've been feeling a bit defeated by it all. This morning has done a lot to change that - inspirational talks from Julie-Ann Haines and Sam Austin at Llamau's #iwd event, supported by Principality Building Society. The brilliant panel discussion reminded me that, whilst it feels like there is more to do than ever, we've come a long way, and if we let ourselves get bogged down in #misogynist rhetoric, they'll have won. The fact that so many people (not exclusively but predominantly men) are emboldened to embrace that rhetoric right now is proof that we're getting to them. They're threatened. Let's keep on. Women are disproportionately affected by homelessness and Llamau are doing all they can to change the circumstances of women and their families who find themselves homeless. Lovely to reconnect with Barbara Redmore and to see Sarah Lavender #accelerateaction #extinctionburst

Thank you so much Llamau for this morning’s International Women's Day 2025 event. Many of us live blinkered lives, but domestic abuse is one of the biggest causes of homelessness for women and Llamau do the most incredible work; reaching out with safe hands and providing a lifeline for those who maybe previously couldn’t see a way out. Everyone should have a home in which they feel safe and Pentan Architects are proud to provide ongoing support to Llamau. What an incredible organisation you are 🙌 #internationalwomensday #enddomesticabuse

Such a thought provoking joint event this morning between Llamau, Women in Property Wales and Principality Building Society for #internationalwomensday. It was a great opportunity to really understand the incredible work Llamau is doing and the positive impact it's having on everyone they support. But, as always, there’s more to be done. In line with this year’s #IWD theme there is a call to #AccelerateAction, we must keep pushing forward, refusing to give up and continue offering support, education and taking action wherever we can. #internationalwomensday #IWD #accelerateaction #refusetogiveup #education #support #action

A fantastic morning at the Women in Property International Women's Day event with Llamau. It was great to learn more about this fantastic charity and how they support women and young people across South Wales. As The Urbanists chosen charity partner for the year, it was inspiring to hear about how we can get involved in supporting Llamau. Looking forward to partnering with Barbara Redmore and the team this year! Thank you to the whole Llamau team and Women in Property Wales for a lovely event, and hosted in a brilliant location as well! #WIP #InternationalWomensDay #IWD25
