About Our Work
Breakfast Club
Free school meals uptake is very high and a lot of "holiday hunger” exists in the area, where low-income families struggle to eat healthily outside term time. We value our local community and engage with local supermarkets to use their surplus food to provide a free meal and a bag of food to take home for people experiencing food poverty. The Breakfast Club offers a warm, hospitable and engaging welcome, providing families with a place where children and parents/carers can have a hot, nutritious meal with their neighbours.
Breakfast Club provides an opportunity to build social networks and enables people from different cultures and backgrounds, who may not otherwise meet, to come together and form solid connections and friendships, thus strengthening the community in which they live and bringing about ongoing positive impact.
Diverse Community Building and Growth Opportunities
We bring together many ethnic groups, the elderly, those without permanent homes, ex-offenders and asylum seekers, and give access to advice, activities, education and volunteer opportunities. Volunteers from all backgrounds help to raise funds by face-painting, holding table-top sales and holding seasonal childrens' events. Outdoor events are held in order to provide necessary items to the homeless. All our volunteers feel they are respected members of our community.

Angela Bullard was born on Swansea Street, Splott, Cardiff on 8 April 1949. She well remembers the community spirit that existed there when she was growing up and, on marriage, experienced the same kind of familiarity when she moved overseas with Fred, a Serviceman. Always loving the feeling of involvement in, and concern for, her local community, Angela first became involved in volunteering by doing some face painting in schools with a friend. However, a project on food poverty in the area shocked her into wanting to address this particular problem.

First spending a lot of time in Splott with their disabled elder son, Fred then became a volunteer by assisting on the 'Man Van' for Tenovus Cancer Care and repairing hearing aids and giving general advice with the charity 'Action on Hearing Loss' before having the idea to hold a Community Fete which raised funds for a Breakfast Club to tackle food poverty.
