Community Benefits – Tai Tarian
2020/21
Brynhyfryd House – A place to share (£10,000 awarded)
Brynhyfryd House is a community hub developed for the people of Neath Port Talbot, a warm friendly base where you can access services under one roof.
In the last year the hub has set up a food donation service for the wider community. This has become very successful and the demand is growing. The room that is currently being used is not fit for purpose. It requires a full make over, wall units and base units to store the food, worktops, new nonslip floor, plastering, painting, create a grocery store, stacking shelves, electric points for fridges and freezers.
This will hugely benefit the wider community. The aim to help reduce food poverty in the area, bring people into the building and whilst visiting they will see other activities, services and opportunities they can access, such as volunteering, training, employment support and charity shop.
