Myrtle House Community

Rooted in compassion. Growing resilience. Building community change.

At the heart of Llanelli, Myrtle House Community is a place where compassion is put into action and where no one has to face life’s challenges alone. We are a faith-led, people-powered movement working together to respond to real needs, strengthen resilience, and build a more connected and supportive local community.

Our projects bring together practical help, creative opportunities, welcoming spaces, and clear pathways forward — all within a trusted, place-based setting. Whether you’re experiencing financial pressure, food insecurity, isolation, or wellbeing challenges — or simply need somewhere safe to rest and belong — you are welcome here.

Most of our support is open to everyone, and you don’t usually need a referral to take part. You’re welcome to come along, connect, and get involved.

Please note: a referral is only required for access to Llanelli Foodbank services.

If you’re unsure where to start or can’t see the support you need, please get in touch. We’ll help you find the right next step.
