Did you know you too could support young care leavers? You may have already seen the recent BBC Wales Investigates: Lifting the Lid on the Care System video, which highlights the need for suitable living options for young people leaving care. Do you have a spare room? If so, why not consider offering Supported Lodgings?

Wyddoch chi y gallech chithau hefyd gefnogi pobl ifanc sy’n gadael gofal? Efallai eich bod wedi gwylio’r fideo Investigates: Lifting the Lid on the Care System ar BBC Cymru yn ddiweddar, sy’n dwyn sylw at yr angen am opsiynau byw addas i bobl ifanc sy’n gadael gofal. Oes gennych chi ystafell sbâr? Os felly, beth am ystyried cynnig Llety â Chefnogaeth?

The young people in care who say they were put at risk by a system meant to protect them.

Could you help a young person in the Llandrindod Wells and Rhayader area?
We urgently need supported lodgings hosts to provide a spare bedroom, to guide and mentor young people between 16 – 25 years old in Powys, who have previously been in foster care or at risk of becoming homeless.
We are particularly in need of hosts in and around the Llandrindod Wells and Rhayader area to enable young people to continue to live in their community, attend their local school and sporting activities.
Could you or someone you know help? You will receive a financial reward, training and support - and the satisfaction of making a difference to the lives of young people who may otherwise face homelessness.
If you have any questions, please use our Facebook Messenger, which is checked regularly.
