New Women's Centre Opens in Carmarthen to Provide Vital Support Services
The Nelson Trust has officially opened a new Women's Centre in Carmarthen, designed to offer vital services and a safe space for women in the community facing challenging circumstances. This initiative, partially funded by Police and Crime Commissioner PCC Dafydd Llywelyn, forms part of a broader effort to provide gender-specific support in the Dyfed-Powys area.
The Carmarthen Women’s Centre will serve as a dedicated resource for women experiencing issues such as domestic violence, addiction, homelessness, and mental health struggles. By offering essential services in a safe and supportive environment, the Nelson Trust aims to help these women rebuild their lives and regain independence.
Police and Crime Commissioner Dafydd Llywelyn attended the opening ceremony and praised the work of the Nelson Trust. "We are proud to provide funding support for this vital initiative, ensuring that women in our area have access to the services they need is a key priority. This new centre will make a real difference in the lives of many women in our community."
The Nelson Trust, a leading charity specialising in supporting vulnerable women, will manage the centre, offering a range of services such as counselling, skills training, and advocacy support. The charity has a long-standing commitment to addressing the unique challenges faced by women, and the opening of the Carmarthen Centre marks another important step in its mission.
"We are committed to providing a safe space where women can access the support they need to thrive," said a spokesperson for the Nelson Trust. "This new centre is a reflection of our ongoing dedication to helping women overcome difficult circumstances and build a brighter future."
The funding provided by the PCC is part of a pilot scheme aimed at strengthening community support services in the Dyfed-Powys region. While the Nelson Trust leads the initiative, the PCC's contribution ensures that the centre in Carmarthen, has the necessary resources to offer tailored support for the women who need it most.
