Foodshare Pantry Llantwit Major

Foodshare Pantry Llantwit Major Open every Thurs 12.00-2pm at the CF61 centre, Llantwit & every other Weds 11.30-1 at The Paul Lewis Community Centre, St Athan. DM to attend!

For £5 choose items at least 3x this value from fridges, freezers & shelves, plus fresh fruit, veg & bakery. Our FoodShare Pantry is a project that is open to all and aims to prevent food insecurity and food waste. Many people living in the rural Vale of Glamorgan find it difficult to access cost effective food and healthy options. At FoodShare Pantry Llantwit Major our local community can join us

each week to top up their weekly shop at a fraction of supermarket prices, while also doing their bit to stop surplus food going to landfill. The pantry is open every Thursday between 12.00 and 2pm, and for £5 our customers can choose items totalling at least 3 times this value from our fridges, freezers and shelves, as well as fresh fruit, vegetables and end of day bakery items. We have an amazing team of loyal volunteers and our pantry has proudly become a social hub for many in the community. We share healthy and seasonal recipes and partner with local organisations and projects, signposting customers to advice services that may be useful to them. There is no eligibility criteria for shopping with us so whether you are experiencing a need to access food or would like to help stop food waste, everyone is welcome. FoodShare Pantry Llantwit Major is funded and supported by GVS, The Vale of Glamorgan Council, Public Health Wales and The Moondance Foundation. As well as purchasing food ourselves to restock the pantry directly from the weekly £5 that our customers pay, food is sourced from:
• FareShare Cymru who receive in date pre-Supermarket food ‘waste’
• FareShare Go which enables us to collect end of day supermarket waste, from Tesco and Waitrose stores, that is past it’s best before date but still perfectly edible
• Our local Co-op supermarkets
• In Kind Direct, a charity that sells hygiene goods to other registered charities
• Local producers
• Individual donations

FoodShare is held at the CF61 building in the centre of Llantwit Major (Station Road, CF61 1ST) every Thursday from 12.00-2pm. If you would like to shop with us or support this project in any way please pop in and see us, or contact us and we can arrange a timeslot for you.

Our FoodShare Pantry needs to secure funding to continue operating and as we develop the funding application we would really value input from the community.

FoodShare is a well-established community initiative that provides access to surplus food, protecting our environment while supporting local residents to access good and affordable food. We are now looking to support the project to transition into an independent, community-led organisation, which is vital to securing its future.

We are inviting all members of the local community to attend our drop in workshop event to answer a few questions and give your views. If you have 10 minutes to spare please come and see us at CF61 on Thursday evening, 26th March anytime between 7.15 - 8.30 pm.

All views welcome, this is your opportunity to help shape our future and to ensure that we do not lose this valuable service. Please feel free to share this post!

Spring has sprung at the pantry today!  Looking forward to seeing you all shortly 😃🌼

We are extremely grateful to the team at Soul Spin and all of their customers who are running this amazing event with FoodShare being one of their nominated charities! Please show your support by spreading the word, donating or getting on a bike - there are still some spaces up for grabs, even if you can only cycle for minutes not hours! 💚🚴‍♂️

⏰ ONLY 4 DAYS TO GO ⏰

Our 12-hour Spin-a-thon is nearly here.
12 hours of grit.
12 hours of sweat.
12 hours of filthy tunes, dynamic lighting and those resistance increases you swear we enjoy too much.

Our coaches, ride-or-die regulars and a few special guest legends will be taking turns on the bikes, all powered by one thing… doing good.

We’re riding to raise money for two incredible causes:
💙 Lads & Dads Bridgend – supporting men’s mental health
🥫 The CF61 local food pantry – helping our own community

This little studio is so proud to put its legs, lungs and loud playlists to work for something bigger than us.

There’s still time to get involved:
👉 Book a bike
👉 Share this post
👉 OR DONATE (every pound counts)

Please help us turn sweat into support.
Let’s show what a small, fierce community can do when it rides together 💚🖤
