Service to
our Community
Our Vision
To provide a
professional, confidential and impartial service that
harnesses the dynamics of entrepreneurial drive and
sustainable social enterprise and that relieves poverty
and eliminates discrimination by giving practical help
to local communities within South Wales
Our Mission
To improve self-help,
influence social responsibility and quality of life
of both individuals and families who are on low income
or benefits by the provision of food, clothing, and
quality essential household furniture and equipment
We excel in delivering services on a precarious
shoe-string budget. We thank our staff, volunteers,
board and advisors for this achievement.
We
give notable value for money. Most income
comes from sales of a small number of donated
items. These – and those given to clients
- have been saved from landfill. We are the
only ecumenical Christian organisation in
Wales that helps families and saves many tonnes
of waste.

We get grants and donations
as well. Sometimes this is difficult because we are
a Christian organisation. We thank the Newport Deanery
for including us in their Mission Action Plan. We thank
many other churches for their generous support.
This year churches have so
far provided 5% of income: we hope this will rise to
15% at the end of the year. We’ve been given lots
of food by churches, schools and others. Sadly, we are
struggling to keep up with demand. The whole Church
is deeply concerned about the adverse trend this demonstrates.
