Getir Fairwater

We help people live a more positive lifestyle by engaging in a healthy community at our gym. Groups we help include Homeless, Young Homeless people, victims of domestic abuse and young people who are referred by other services. We get lots of positive outcomes and created our Community Hub to provide volunteering opportunities and the feel-good factor of helping others. We have lots and lots of plans for great causes this year! The Hangar Community Hub is located at the Hangar Human Performance Centre, a combat sports and strength gym based in Penarth Road, Cardiff. We offer Sports Training to the local community and we train for fitness, and to compete. However that isn’t all that we offer. Grocery Donations We help people develop employability skills, by volunteering their time at the Hangar Food Pantry. Our volunteers will gain a Level 2 or 3 Food Hygiene Award and learn how to help people through preparing food packages for those in need. We help people learn about nutrition and health whilst they volunteer and they can also get involved in the many activities we offer at the gym. Our world is full of need. We don't always know where that need is, but we can help alleviate some of it by volunteering and helping others. This will always make us feel good! And if you’re looking for a place to volunteer, why not try here? Combat Sports and Strength Training We offer a range of Combat Sports and Strength Training programs to adults, children, and the elderly to improve self-confidence, life skills, social inclusion, healthy living, and overall physical health. Participating in sport helps people gain self-confidence, and a wide range of other skills. Stop by for your next training session!

Our aim is to create a positive impact on the health of the local community and, especially, individuals living in low-income situations. We provide a breakfast club for members of the community every Thursday morning from our base at the STAR Centre on Splott Road. Each week, a team of 20+ volunteers work together to collect food donations from local supermarkets, cook a hot breakfast and prepare essential food bags to give out to between 40 and 80 people. The breakfast club not only feeds people, it connects the community, decreases loneliness and isolation and gives people purpose through volunteering opportunities. We also offer a delivery service for infirm or isolated individuals and offer a 'warm space' for those who are unable to heat their homes, providing a warm welcome, company and refreshment.
