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 11 adults and 4 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, and the face-toface group an average of 8 people.
Our Seated Exercise group with an average of 3 attending.
We held nine Repair Café sessions during the year. The sessions remain limited to appointments only and were attended by an average of 2.5 clients, with 3 volunteers. These sessions also acted as a PAT testing service for our Charity Shop.
Contact with Glais House Care Home continued after the experimental start in the previous year. Twelve sessions were held this year and attended by many of the residents, some of their visitors, a few staff, and an average of about 8 Ty Croeso Clydach volunteers/supporters.
Grants were made from our Charity Shop proceeds to: Community Garden for a Wellness garden in cooperation with the neighbouring Health Centre; a new Youth club; a Bingo group; two new tots groups (one Welsh language); a summer holiday outing for local families; a fun day in a nearby village; a Primary School for a fund for educational trips; a new male voice choir; and a sewing class project for children and families. We also provided some support for an asylum-seeking family and took seasonal bouquets and greeting cards to the care home at Christmas.
This report was approved at the Trustees meeting on 16[th] June 2025 and presented to the AGM on November 25[th] 2025.
