HOW TO GET HELP 〰️

To start, simply visit one of our Community Life Hubs or give us a call. Our hubs are designed to be sanctuaries of hope and support, where you can find compassionate care in a welcoming, safe environment. We work closely with churches across Llanelli and the surrounding rural areas to meet the needs of local residents. Whether you drop in for a chat or are referred by an external agency via our referral form, you’ll be greeted with kindness. Our hubs are open to everyone—just walk in, enjoy a drink, and speak with someone who cares.

Step 1: Get in Touch with Us

Step 2: Meet with Us

When you arrive at the Community Life Hub, you’ll be welcomed by our friendly team. We’ll offer you free tea, coffee, toast, and treats as you settle in. One of our trained team members will then sit with you to listen to your needs, whether you're struggling to afford the essentials or in need of our support services. We aim to provide a space where you feel safe, heard, and understood. By the time you leave, we hope you’ll feel a sense of relief, knowing that someone cares and is ready to help.

Step 3: Receive Tailored Support

Based on your needs, you’ll receive immediate access to food, toiletries, and other essentials from our food bank. If additional help is needed, we can set up appointments for you with our other support services, including our Money Support Project. Whether you need short-term help or a long-term plan, our team will work with you to create a tailored support plan that addresses your unique challenges. This may include debt advice, mental health support, or benefits guidance, ensuring you have the tools and resources to get back on your feet. Our goal is to provide both practical and emotional support to help you through tough times.

We’re here for you—every step of the way.

The Community Life Hubs offer a comprehensive set of services, tailored to meet the diverse needs of individuals and families in our community. Our focus is not only on providing immediate assistance but also on helping people develop the skills and connections needed to achieve greater independence and well-being.

Llanelli Foodbank Collection Point

For individuals and families facing immediate food insecurity, the hubs offer emergency food parcels designed to provide balanced nutrition for a short period. These parcels contain non-perishable items, as well as basic household staples, ensuring that no one in the community goes hungry during times of crisis.
Money Support Project

A vital initiative designed to provide comprehensive financial assistance and guidance to individuals and families in the Llanelli area who are facing financial hardship. Delivered through the Community Life Hubs, the project aims to help people regain control of their finances, reduce debt, and access essential resources.
Pathways

Pathways is designed to support individuals in navigating complex community support systems by connecting them with relevant resources and services. Recognising that the challenges people face extend beyond immediate needs, such as food assistance, the project offers signposting and referrals to ensure comprehensive, holistic support.
Care Packages

The Care Packages service provides essential items to individuals and families facing hardship, ensuring that basic needs are met during times of financial strain or personal crisis. The care packages are designed to offer immediate relief to those struggling to afford everyday necessities, while also helping to restore a sense of dignity and well-being.
Community Meals

Providing nutritious, warm meals to individuals and families in need, addressing both immediate hunger and the broader challenges of food insecurity. By offering free or low-cost meals in a welcoming and supportive environment, the service plays a vital role in ensuring that vulnerable members of the community have access to regular, nutritious food.
Connection to Community Groups

The Community Life Hubs provide crucial assistance in helping individuals connect with and participate in the various community groups offered by Myrtle House, ensuring that everyone—regardless of their financial situation or social circumstances—has the opportunity to engage with these enriching and supportive programs.
