We urgently need your help to keep three vital community services open in Risca this summer and beyond.

Due to rising costs and a drop in income over the school holidays, our charity – which runs The Pantri (food support service), Risca Snug (a warm, safe, community space) and The Sycamore Centre (community centre) – is facing a serious funding shortfall.

What’s At Risk

Families in crisis may go without food support

Vulnerable adults will lose access to mental health drop-ins and peer support

Community groups and wellbeing sessions will have nowhere to meet

We need to raise £3,000 per month to keep all three spaces open. Every donation helps — whether it’s £5, £50 or £500.

What Your Donation Supports

£10 = A week of food for a family in need

£25 = Covers a safe support session for someone struggling

£50 = Keeps the lights on at a venue for a day

£100 = Pays for vital volunteer support and supplies

£1,000 = Sponsors a full week of services across a venue

You can also choose to give monthly and become part of our Supporters Circle — keeping vital services going for the long term.

This Is Your Community – Please Help Us Keep It Going

If these services have touched your life — or the lives of people you care about — now is the time to act.

We’re not giving up.

We’re doing everything we can to reduce costs, fundraise, and survive this period — but we can’t do it without you.

We are applying for some large funding which we hope will land later this year, so this is just a short-term gap we need to fill.

Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, and belief in what we do.

Please donate, share, and help us spread the word.
