Lidl Ystrad Mynach

The food collected is meant to be shared amongst the residents of an older people's scheme - Ty Gwaunfarren over 55's scheme in Merthyr Tydfil. This group was previously linked with Twyncarmel Pantry and had shared some of the food collected with them but this has not been the case since August 2025. At the request of Wales & West Housing, the landlords of Ty Gwaunfarren, this group is no longer being inspected by Environmental Health. you can see the the last inspection was April 2024, as they no longer give permission for this food business to be run on their premises.

The Parish Trust is a Christian based organisation but exists for the benefit of everyone in the local area. The Parish Trust is the umbrella organisation for a number of projects, our largest being the CARE Project which delivers food parcels and pastoral care to those in need. We launched Caerphilly Baby bank in January 2025, supporting expecting and new mothers with essential maternity and baby supplies. We also offer bereavement courses, a data bank for those struggling with digital access and a thriving community of groups and activities for children and young people.
