Lidl Port Talbot

We are a project that house 12 young people aged 16-24 with complex needs who would be homeless if they were not living here. Our aims are to teach them to live independently whilst encouraging them into education or training. We support them 24 hours a day and involve them in activities that promote health and well being whilst encouraging them to make friends and learn new skills. We have recently had funding to build a workshop on the premises and we are presently making items from 100 percent recycled wood such as reindeers and snowmen. The proceeds of these go directly back to the young people and the money is used to help them with travel, clothes food, activities and anything they may require whilst living here at the project. We also have two training flats nearby that they can move into if they are ready to move on but may need additional support for a short while. our long term goals are to move them into more permanent accommodation and for each client this can be between 6 months and 2 years depending on their individual progress.

CETMA Surplus Food collects surplus food from supermarkets and distributes it to organisations in Carmarthenshire. These organisations then distribute it to the most disadvantaged people in the community. We have community fridges in Llanelli and Kidwelly in Carmarthenshire.

The Pantry is a community Food bank, supporting children and families in the Port Talbot area. We provide food, dried, fresh and Frozen along with personal hygiene products and household cleaning products. We are based within Ysgol Cwm Brombil in Margam and have supported over 1500 people in the last year and expect to support even more over the next few months. We accept donations within the school reception area and also the Coop Tollgate, Margam.
