Who are we?
We are a community group run by volunteers that work our socks off to help the most vulnerable and needy in our community.
We run several projects including a food bank. We are one of the most deprived communities In Wales and our residents often face severe hardships.
During struggles our community comes together to help one another. They've asked us to set up a Warm Hub where they can come to keep warm and support each other. So that's exactly what we are going to do.

Community impact
During the cost of living crisis people are struggling to heat their homes. This is having a detrimental impact on mental health, physical health and well-being.
We are offering a space in our local social club for our community to meet up, keep warm, have free hot drinks and refreshments whilst getting involved in our free activities and advice sessions.
Local organisations such as the council, police, fire service, repair cafe etc will be attending different sessions throughout the week giving different help, advice and support.
We will provide free books, newspapers, cards, boardgames along with quizzes and bingo. We dont want to just create a warm space but we also want to help, support and interact with our users
Why are we crowdfunding
We are crowdfunding to help financially support our project. Without the generosity of local businesses and individuals the Hub will be impossible. The cost of living crisis has really thrown a spanner in the works to our already struggling community. Community morale is at and all time low with the pressures of Christmas and the current economic climate.
Our community was beginning to show signs of recovery following on from the pandemic and a local TB Outbreak but this is another sharp blow.
We desperately need funds to keep our hub open, warm and available to all ????
How we’ll spend the money raised
We will use the money raised to:
Hire the large room
Purchase hot drinks and food
Provide community transport through Dolen Teifi for people that wouldnt beable to reach us without the service
Purchase tea urns, soup kettle and a microwave
Purchase things for entertainment such as crafts, board games, cards, newspapers etc
