A Kind Reminder About Donations 💙📦

Firstly, thank you to everyone who continues to support us with donations. Your generosity helps us provide vital support to local individuals and families throughout our community.

We would like to kindly ask that donations are brought directly into the building during our opening hours wherever possible.

Unfortunately, just this week, donations left outside the building have been removed without permission before they could be collected by our team. We have also had donations spoiled after being left outside overnight in the rain, meaning they could no longer be used to help those in need.

To ensure your kind donations reach the people they are intended for, please drop them off when we are open:

🕘 Tuesday – Thursday
🕑 9:00am – 2:00pm

If you are unable to visit during these times, please get in touch and we will do our best to help.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. Together, we can make sure every donation has the greatest possible impact for our community. 💙

🛍️ Carrier Bags & Bags for Life Needed! 🛍️

We're running low on carrier bags and Bags for Life and would be incredibly grateful for any donations.

These bags help us provide food, clothing, school uniforms, and essential items to local families across our community. Every donated bag makes a difference and helps us continue supporting those who need us most.

If you have any spare carrier bags, Bags for Life, or reusable shopping bags at home, please consider donating them to us.

📍 Donations can be dropped off at Brachdy House Tuesday-Thursday 9am-2pm 💙 Thank you for supporting your local community and helping us reduce waste while helping others.

🛍️💙

What an incredible day at Rumney Forum ❤️

Yesterday was all about people coming together to help improve, reorganise, clear, and sort the building so we can continue developing the Forum for the community we serve.

With the support of volunteers, local businesses and contractors, an enormous amount was achieved in just one day. Areas were cleared, waste removed, items organised, and the building made safer and more manageable moving forward.

Alongside the clear-up, we were also pleased that useful items could be passed on to the 28th Scouts, Tyndall Court, and local animal charities.

We want to give a huge thank you to the companies and individuals who stepped forward to support us:

⭐ Cambria Consulting Ltd
⭐ Twenty4 Fire & Security Ltd
⭐ Pritchard Holdings Ltd
⭐ CMB Engineering
⭐ BFSL
⭐ Evans Electrical Ltd
⭐ Lawray Architects
⭐ Liam Wozencroft and his maintenance team

Your time, expertise, equipment, and practical support made a real difference and helped us achieve far more than we could have alone.

And of course, thank you to our amazing Rumney Forum volunteers who kept everything moving throughout the day.

The support we are receiving is a real reminder of what community spirit looks like. Thank you all 💙

💛 A heartfelt thank you to everyone at St Dyfrig’s Church 💛

We are so grateful for your continued kindness and generosity. Once again, you’ve provided a wonderful donation of food and essential items to help support our community.

These donations will go directly to local families who need a little extra support right now, and they truly will make a real difference.

We just wanted to take a moment to say thank you.

Since our last update, the response from the community has meant more to us than we can properly put into words. The messages, the shares, the kind comments — we’ve seen them all, and they’ve lifted us during what has been an incredibly difficult time.

Rumney Forum has always been about people. It’s about the conversations over a cup of tea, the support when someone needs it most, and the feeling that no one has to face things alone. Seeing that same spirit come back to us right now has been truly powerful.

We’re still facing challenges, and the situation hasn’t gone away. But knowing that so many of you care, and are standing with us, makes a real difference. It reminds us why this place matters — and why it’s worth fighting for.

If you’re able to keep supporting us, please do. Whether that’s sharing our posts, talking to others about what Rumney Forum means, or simply continuing to engage — it all helps more than you might realise.

Most of all, thank you for being part of this community. We’re still here, and we’re not giving up.

Update from Rumney Forum Trustees

We want to be open and honest with the community.

On 28th April, the Trustees of Rumney Forum were backed into a corner and made the incredibly difficult decision to close our doors due to ongoing legal proceedings and escalating costs linked to a dilapidations dispute at Brachdy House.
It was a devastating moment for all of us.

For 10 years, Rumney Forum has supported thousands of local people with food, clothing, essential community services, friendship and support — and the thought of losing that was heartbreaking.

But just as we reached that point, things changed.

Thanks to the involvement and support of Steve Borley and CMB Engineering, we were able to pause that decision.

His backing came at a critical time and has given us the chance to keep going — and to keep fighting for the future of Rumney Forum.

We are still facing an ongoing legal dispute, and the financial pressure hasn’t gone away. But this support has given us breathing space and hope when we needed it most.

Now more than ever, we need our community behind us.

👉 Please share this post
👉 Help spread the word
👉 Stand with Rumney Forum

Every bit of support shows that this place matters — and it truly does.

Thank you for being part of our community ❤️

We’ll continue to keep you updated.
