support agencies including health visitors,
social workers, probation officers and
schools.
We have worked particularly closely with
Swansea Asylum Seeker Services, Unity
and Diversity and local Councillors in
supporting refugees and asylum seekers.
When the Foodbank was initially set up,
approximately 60 referrals per month were
