We do our bit by redistributing food that would otherwise go to waste!! We have 4 deliveries every week from Felix.

Today’s Budget announcement wasn’t the news we were hoping for, but our commitment to ending unnecessary food waste doesn't stop here. 🚫🌾

Every single year, the UK wastes the equivalent of 1 billion meals that could help families and local communities. Yet, right now, a fundamental flaw remains in the system: it can still cost businesses more money to donate good surplus food than to discard it.

We know businesses want to do the right thing, and charities like ours are ready to deliver more. To reach the national target of tripling food redistribution over the next decade, we urgently need policy changes that remove these barriers.

We’re disappointed today, but we are certainly not giving up. We will keep working constructively with the Government and the food industry to drive real, lasting reform.

Please vote for us and help the rural areas of Conwy. The need for emergency food parcels as well as additional support is increasing and will continue to rise as winter progresses. Thank you.

Your recycling makes a difference!

Thanks to residents across Conwy, we've collected an amazing 7016 tonnes of garden waste, generating £7016 for local good causes through our Recycling Rewards campaign!

The donation will be shared between three local organisations, with the amount going to each being determined by the number of votes they receive.

We've shortlisted three fantastic local organisations:
- Banc Bwyd Conwy Wledig / Rural Conwy Food Bank: provides emergency food parcels to individuals and families living in rural areas of Conwy - in partnership with The Hive - Abergele Community Action - home to Abergele District Foodbank and Abergele Community Shop.
- Ysgol Porth y Felin: Supporting its Big Bocs Bwyd project, which provides affordable, nutritious food to local families, reduces food insecurity, and offers vital practical support to strengthen community wellbeing.
- Youth Shedz Cymru: Safe spaces shaped by young people, where skills grow and community thrives. A Place to Belong, A Purpose to Pursue, An Identity to Celebrate.

The more votes an organisation receives, the bigger its share of the donation!

We’re looking for the right person to join our youth team!

Ideally, you’ll already hold a Level 2 Youth Support Worker qualification and be willing to work towards Level 3.

We would also consider someone currently unqualified if they are willing to complete the relevant qualification and become registered with the EWC as part of the role.

We’re especially interested in people who can bring additional skills such as sports coaching, music, teaching, outdoor activities, arts, wellbeing, cooking or practical skills that we can build into our work with local young people.

Most importantly, we want someone who can build strong relationships with young people and bring energy, ideas and enthusiasm to the role.
