to support other charities|| |||||||and not for profit organisations
via use of|| |||||||our vehicle, trailer and equipment.
As an|| |||||||upper tier waste carrier, we are able to|| |||||||offer a risk-free service for organisations|to| |||||||dispose oftheir bulky waste for very little|| |||||||cost. We also helped local foodbanks
by|| |||||||donating f3000to help with their costs and|| |||||||raised 8918 by the sale ofother groups|| |||||||scrap metal that was then transferred

upon Cardiff|| |---|---|---| ||Council for the loan ofa portacabin
for|| ||storage ofequipment,
tools and items for|| ||recycling. Whereas this is gratefully|| ||acknowledged,
it isa constraint
on the|| ||charity developing
further due to lack of|| ||power, workshop space or ability to house|| ||the boat and trailer with our other|| ||equipment.
The ideal would be to have|| ||affordable,
centralised
accommodation|| ||where the Charity could store everything|in| ||one place and to repair items rather than|| ||have to recycle them.|| ||We are now looking at the possibility ofthis|| ||which
will entail expenditure
but as an
investment
in the charit 's future.|| ||Large, charity owned items such as the|| |Other|vehicle, trailer and boat need secure|| ||storage. Currently,
these are stored
in a|| ||large, shared underground
car park thanks|| ||to one ofthe trustees.

is found, ideally,
it would|| ||also allow for stora
