We collect and share surplus food in Llangollen, Denbighshire and surrounding areas. We deliver food packs to people who cannot get to any pick ups, we open regularly in community centres for everyone to collect food surplus. Food packs are for people in need of more support than just sharing surplus for reasons amongst many: -Changes to benefits (Moving to Universal Credit) -Zero hours contracts but no work during a period -Redundancy/loss of income or one household income -Illness and unable to work -Family breakdowns/breakups We are especially filling gaps where people cannot access food banks or other food support for reasons such as: -On zero hours contract and cannot access during opening hours -No transport/ no money for transport to foodbanks -Don’t want to be seen asking for food/ at foodbank. Words used feeling ‘too proud’, ‘scared to seen’, ‘ashamed’ We also supplement with non perishable items. We have two aims: Reduce food poverty Reduce food waste

We support refugees and asylum seekers with basic needs, activities, social events, music events and food/meals cooked together. We run free pop up shops and have a hub in Wrexham and work with other partners to identify needs from families and individuals and support with them. We run a community garden for everyone to share and grow food and exchange language informally. We have an info point in town for Ukrainians and hosts. We are raising funds for needs for Ukrainian families

Hi I’m Claire I’m running a food donation cupboard for surplus food from my home address for my community which is Rossett burton and lavister in Wrexham and the border of England there is a population of 3500 people in this village alone and plenty of single people Upto family’s are really struggling even more at this very moment .. I’m fairly new with my new cupboard to share free food or food boxes to people who are in need and to ensure people have a meal daily also to cut down waste going to landfill which is a extra bonus I have set up a Facebook page for people of any requirements that are struggling to get in touch with us or pass any details we will be looking at delivering once a week to elderly when we have contact details in place that don’t use social media for instance I shall be making up flyers and contact cards to give people peace of mind to arrange the help for them with no charge in place.
