Sainsbury's Talbot Green

Our Little Shed is a community space in the heart of Tonypandy town centre and offers support and activities focussed on cost of living, health & wellbeing and sustainability. We work with many community partners to deliver on these key areas. We work with partners to offer health, sports and outdoor activities which improve well-being, physical health and confidence, as well as providing a safe space for tenants to socialise and build new skills. We work closely with a local environmental project that seeks to re-engage local people with their natural environment, building Eco skills and skills for employment as well as allowing participants to explore the valley's forestry and mountain landscapes. We also work with local food retail partners to redistribute surplus stock, addressing food poverty while preventing unnecessary landfill waste. Finally, we offer groups and activities such as a Community Fridge, Repair Cafe and sustainable craft sessions to promote sustainable practices as well as providing the social benefits of engaging in a community space. All activities are offered free of charge and are available to anyone in the community.

At The Trinity, we are dedicated to tackling food waste, strengthening community bonds, and providing essential support to those in need. Our mission is simple: to rescue surplus food from local businesses and redistribute it to families and individuals who can benefit from it. By reducing food waste, we help alleviate hunger while fostering a spirit of togetherness and care within our community. Our enterprise operates on the belief that no one should go without food, and no edible food should go to waste. Through partnerships with local businesses and communities, The Trinity is creating a sustainable solution to food waste to help build a stronger, more connected community. We believe in local food surplus to help local people.

We are a community group who want to enhance what we already doing making a difference practically emotionally and spiritually within our community of Tonyrefail and surrounding areas. There is a large proportion of unemployed and families living in poverty. We use all donations of food. clothing and other furniture items providing to specific families we know through health visitors, social services, GP's. schools and many other organisations to provide whatever we can to make life a little easier. We also provide free meals for those parents and children who are eligible for free school meals during school holidays. Our only income in providing our services is through the generosity of local people and organisations. We have brought this community centre back to life bringing people together, tackling isolation and loneliness. We currently support the following groups: Coffee Cups and Crayons for parents and children every Monday 10-1130 Crochet group 12 - 2pm Wed Pay what you can breakfasts from 9-11 Safe Hands for those bereaved or other types of losses 1-3pm Thurs CAB 9-1130 Free legal clinic 9-12 Veterans lunches and support Singing for the Brain for those with Alzheimer's Fri Pay what you can café We also provide free or very cheap quality clothing as well as being the focal point for any practical needs our community may have which can be seen from our Facebook page, clothing, food, hygiene products and even furniture. We have a group pf volunteers that do food collections every month from Coop and Sainsbury's that people can access for non perishable foods. Through the Neighbourly project we are able to provide surplus food on a daily basis for those in need to access every day.
