Nelson Trust Recognised at Safer Communities Awards for Carmarthen Women’s Centre
The Nelson Trust’s Carmarthen Women’s Centre has been celebrated for its impact on community safety, earning recognition at the Safer Communities Awards in Wrexham. The Women’s Centre, supported by funding from Police and Crime Commissioner Dafydd Llywelyn, provides a vital safe space for women in challenging circumstances.
Representing the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, the Partnerships and External Funding Manager attended the awards ceremony to acknowledge the outstanding achievements of the Nelson Trust. The Women’s Centre in Carmarthen plays a pivotal role in addressing issues such as domestic violence, addiction, and mental health struggles, offering tailored support to women in the Dyfed-Powys area.
Commissioner Llywelyn said:
"We are immensely proud to fund this vital initiative. The Nelson Trust’s Carmarthen Women’s Centre creates a safe and supportive environment where women can access the help they need to overcome difficult times. This award recognises their tireless work in providing life-changing services to women, empowering them to rebuild their lives and achieve brighter futures. Their success is a testament to the strength of partnership working in ensuring safer communities."
The Carmarthen Women’s Centre is a cornerstone of the PCC’s strategic investment, providing counselling, skills training, and advocacy support. This initiative is part of a broader range of interventions designed to address issues such as violence against women and girls, anti-social behaviour, and acquisitive crime, ensuring women have access to tailored resources and support.
This award celebrates not only the success of the Carmarthen Women’s Centre but also the collaborative effort between the OPCC and specialist partners to strengthen community safety across the region.
