Porthi Aber

At Porthi Aber, our mission is to deliver empowering and creative community-led change to improve the food system and facilitate positive climate action.

Our vision is to co-create a thriving and positive future for people, planet and community. Our mission is to deliver empowering and creative community-led change to improve the food system and facilitate positive climate action. Our 5 mission areas are:

-Tyfu– meaning “grow” or “growing”. We want to increase the amount of food grown in the area to improve local food resilience. We also provide c

ommunity growing and gardening spaces to support people’s health and wellbeing through our Tyfu Aber Grow project.

-Cylchol- meaning “circular”. We are passionate about facilitating a circular food system - using fewer resources, minimising waste and creating value from waste. We celebrate seed saving, create compost, and collect, distribute and share surplus food through a community pantry open to all.

-Lleol– meaning “local”. We champion food sovereignty, a people over profit approach to our food system where communities have control over how their food is produced, traded and consumed. Through Bwyd Dyfi Hub, we provide fair access to market for local growers, farmers and entrepreneurs committed to organic and agroecological practices.

-Casglu– meaning “gather”. We have a community hub space, a physical multi-purpose building aiming to revitalise the high street. We collaborate and connect with others to organise inspiring community events and activities, share stories, and love to bring people together over healthy and nutritious food.

-Dysgu– meaning “learn” or “learning”. Creating a space and culture where shared learning is central. We offer a kitchen space, food skills programmes and workshops, and opportunities for learning to enhance our collective knowledge and community resilience. These 5 areas are not distinct boundaries, but interconnect and overlap with each other, forming our holistic mission-based approach to deliver meaningful change.

What is “Pay As You Can”?

At our last community dinner, we trialled a unique pricing structure called “Pay As You Can”. What does this mean and look like in reality?
Pay As You Can is centred on inclusivity and giving people choice over how much they pay for their food.
Many people think we offer a free food service. This isn’t true.
Instead of a set price, Pay As You Can gives people the opportunity to choose how much they would like to pay for a meal. We know this can be a difficult decision, therefore we’ve come up with some options - see the photo above!
Join us for our next Community Dinner this coming Weds 19th August, and “Pay As You Can”.
Read more about Pay As You Can in a recent blog post from Chris, one of our Founders and team members, in the comments below.
We look forward to seeing you there.

Beth yw “Talu Fel y Gallwch”?

Yn ein cinio cymunedol diwethaf,treialwyd strwythur prisio unigryw o'r enw “Talu Fel y Gallwch”. Beth mae hyn yn ei olygu a beth yw e mewn gwirionedd?
Mae Talu Fel y Gallwch yn canolbwyntio ar gynhwysiant a rhoi dewis i bobl ynghylch faint maen nhw'n ei dalu am eu bwyd.
Mae llawer o bobl yn meddwl ein bod ni'n cynnig gwasanaeth bwyd am ddim. Nid yw hyn yn wir.
Yn lle pris penodol, mae Talu Fel y Gallwch yn rhoi cyfle i bobl ddewis faint hoffent ei dalu am bryd o fwyd. Rydyn ni'n gwybod y gall hwn fod yn benderfyniad anodd, felly rydyn ni wedi llunio rhai opsiynau - gweler y llun uchod!
Ymunwch â ni ar gyfer ein Cinio Cymunedol nesaf ddydd Mercher 19eg Awst, a “Talu Fel y Gallwch”.
Darllenwch fwy am Dalu Fel y Gallwch mewn postiad blog diweddar gan Chris, un o'n Sylfaenwyr ac aelodau'r tîm, yn y sylwadau isod.
Edrychwn ymlaen at eich gweld chi yno.
