Originally our Foodbank was a project set up by St Luke’s Church, Rhydyfelin in Pontypridd, as a way to help spread good news to the community through helping to provide for those in need in a very practical manner.
Over the years the need for our services has grown meaning that we began to outgrow St Luke’s Church and the other churches that we worked from, so with the greatest of sadness we have had to look for a new home and recently, thanks to the help of RCT council, relocated to the old Riverside Day Centre in Treforest.
We aim to provide clients in the Pontypridd area with three days of food to help them get through the crisis they find themselves in. To ease the pressure of finances by having some food to eat for 3 days.
We seek to help with pointing people in the right direction as a way to reduce the crisis they are in, linking with external agencies ,who offer support and advice.
Our Foodbank is supported by many different churches and chapels, schools, businesses and individuals offering their time and donations of food and money.
We are part of the Trussell Trust Foodbank Network of over 400 foodbanks across the UK offering significant support to hundreds of thousands in crisis every year and providing a powerful voice against poverty. We work with Rhondda Foodbank, Merthyr Cynon Foodbank and Taff Ely Foodbank as we serve the people of Rhondda Cynon Taf.
