🌟 Together, We Are Nourishing Our Communities 🌟

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our 12-Month Food Exchange Project, an initiative designed to support ethnic minorities and vulnerable individuals in Newport by redistributing surplus food and essential supplies while fostering stronger community connections.

Our Vision
At the heart of this project lies a simple yet powerful idea: local businesses, shops, and communities working hand in hand to support each other and those in need. By encouraging local businesses to donate surplus food, we aim to minimize waste and maximize impact, ensuring that resources are used to benefit those who need them most.

How It Works
Our project operates as a food donation exchange hub. Shops, businesses, and community members contribute surplus food, which we then redistribute to individuals and families in need. This initiative ensures culturally appropriate food and essential supplies are available to the diverse communities of Newport.

While our services remain free for those who are vulnerable or unable to pay, we kindly ask those who can afford it to contribute £5.00 when using the service. These contributions help keep the project running and ensure we can continue providing for those in need.

Why It Matters
Minimising Food Waste: Partnering with local businesses helps us rescue surplus food that would otherwise go to waste, reducing environmental impact.


Community Support: By working together, we create a stronger support system for our neighbors, especially those from ethnic minorities and vulnerable backgrounds.


Accessibility for All: Our goal is to provide culturally appropriate food and supplies, ensuring inclusivity for everyone in Newport.


How You Can Help
We believe that small actions can lead to big changes. Here’s how you can contribute:

Local Businesses: Donate surplus food or supplies to our exchange hub.
Community Members: Support our initiative by making a £5.00 contribution when using the service, if affordable.


Volunteers: Help us sort, package, and distribute donations.
Spread the Word: Share our mission with your friends, family, and networks.
