Review of the Year
The Foodbank continued to provide the regular food parcels through the Swansea Trussell Trust Food bank scheme and responded to ‘drop-ins’ with small supplies of food if appropriate plus toiletries and period products. Numbers attending with vouchers fluctuated widely, averaging 6 adults and 3 children per week. We continued to receive very generous donations of food, cash, toiletries etc. from individuals and organisations.
Our Welsh conversation group continued online with an average of 6 people joining in.
Our Seated Exercise group with an average of 6 attending.
We held nine Repair Café sessions during the year. The sessions remain limited to appointments only and were attended by an average of 3 clients, with an average of 3 volunteers. These sessions also acted as a PAT testing service for our Charity Shop.
We continued to keep in touch with the 4 care homes with whom we had contact. Christmas gifts for the staff in recognition of their work, and cards for the residents, were taken to all 4 homes in 2022.
We completed the distribution of the Vale Europe Community Fund to local charities according to the agreed policy, supporting a Men’s Shed, Swansea City of Sanctuary, after school cookery classes, and a chapel young people’s community project. A final report was sent to Vale.
Our Charity Shop in the village became a very popular resource. From the proceeds, we began to develop a fund which would be used to give grants for small projects in the area. Grants were given to a secondary school for welfare support; and to a local group who pick surplus/unpicked fruit for distribution through Foodshare projects, for tree pruning equipment.
