ALDI ABERGAVENNY

We are a small group of people working from All Saints CPS Ebbw Vale who aim to make a difference in the lives of local families. We have set up a community pantry for our families who can access it weekly and fill a bag to help feed their families in difficult times. This is run on a pay what you feel basis. We also help families who need support with household items, clothes and warmth

Help for All Gwent is a local voluntary group that accepts donations from the local community and donate to people in need. This includes essential items such as food, clothing and household items. We work closely with a local charity that donates furniture to families in need and help people in crisis with sourcing clothes and furniture. Families can register with Help For All Gwent to receive weekly or biweekly food parcels. The group is run by volunteers who collect food from Sainsbury’s and Aldi. The food is then distributed to families who can either collect or have delivered to them if they have no means of transport. We work closely with other local charities and community groups and cover each other's food collections if needed. Volunteers have completed basic food safety training to enable them to.distribute all food collected and understand the importance of food safety.

We are a local community centre in a very deprived area we do activities and provide services to help local residents and their families. We work together with food share Tesco Asda and Greggs and do 5 free food pick ups per week to enable everyone that is struggling both employed & unemployed get fed each week.
