We are starting a pay as you feel shop, Blenheim's Bocs Bwyd to benefit the residents of Cwmbran . In particular the immediate community of Blenheim Road Community Primary School. This will be a service without discrimination, supplying the community with food, in order to relieve poverty and improve the social welfare. In turn improving the conditions of life for the residents within our community. We hope to use retail and growing aspects of the project to advance education and training opportunities especially among the unemployed. Additionally, to promote learning for pleasure through individual capabilities, skills and understanding of educational values expereinces. Furthermore, to promote social inclusion to the public benefitting families from becoming socially excluded. We hope to relieve the needs of those who are socially excluded and assit to integrate into society by increasing opportunities for single parents, and for those not in full time employment to engage with service providers to receive training and opportunities.

This is a community group set up to help people in need and going through tough times. My aim is to collect surplus food which I can distribute to people in need. Fresh Food items, also cupboard essentials, toiletries, nappies, baby food and cleaning products. I would be able to collect from stores and then distribute to people in need. I have many years experience in this environment.

We are a social enterprise based in an area of Newport (Gwent) suffering major deprivation. We run a community cafe that offers free meals to residents,' where we try and remove the stigma of food poverty, by pivoting the approach to come from a sustainability focus. We would like to offer a similar scheme to this but with a 'take home' bag. currently, we fund this activity through a variety of other community-focused activities. We also run an adult learning disability program that teaches them skills and techniques to prepare meals for themselves, using a system called TSI (training in Systematic Instruction) so prepare a lot of meals on a repetitive basis that the learners take home..
