Banc Bwyd Port Talbot food bank in Carmel Chapel, Cwmafan, has had a much-needed upgrade worth over £4,000, thanks to our contractors, CJ Construction.

As part of our community benefits scheme, the team donated their time to install new kitchen units, a racking system, and a fridge. They also gave £250 worth of food to support local people in need.

Mairwen Crockett, who’s been with the food bank since it opened, said the improvements were very welcome:
“The kitchen was in the vestry, which dates back to 1919, so it was definitely due an upgrade. Being able to access a food bank makes a huge difference to people, many arrive feeling very anxious.”

The food bank, part of the Trussell Trust network, is open every Wednesday from 10am to 12pm. Donations are welcome via local supermarkets or directly to the chapel on Mondays.
