Thursday 1st August

Cai’s Story – Film First Screening
15.00 – 15.45

This event is the very first screening of Cai’s Story, a short film designed to raise awareness of the very real threat of homelessness in many LGBTQ+ young people’s lives. Cai’s story, which is based on the experiences of real young people, shines a light on why LGBTQ+ young people are 4 times more likely to experience homelessness than their non-LGBTQ+ peers. The film’s director, Tudur Owen, will introduce the film, and the audience will hear from a young person who has experienced some of the issues captured in Cai’s Story, themselves, plus an update from End Youth Homelessness Cymru on the findings of a forthcoming report into LGBTQ+ youth homelessness.
