CHRISTMAS APPEAL 2026 - SMYTHS TOYS GIFT CARDS
With Christmas fast approaching, we have launched our 6th annual appeal for donations of gift cards for Smyths Toys so we can help local families who are vulnerable and in need of support to buy gifts for their children this Christmas.
We have decided to ask for gift cards rather than presents again this year so that the parents can enjoy shopping for their children and wrapping the gifts. If you would prefer to give a present then please contact us as this can also be arranged.
If you are donating a gift card, could you please purchase these in denominations of £5, this will ensure we can give the same amount to each child that we support.
If you would prefer to donate cash we will have donation tins at Canolfan y Bont where you can give as much or as little as you wish, alternatively you can make a direct transfer to our bank account and we will purchase vouchers on your behalf. Bank details are as follows:
Name of Account: The Pontarddulais Partnership
Sort Code: 20-51-32
Account Number: 80869775
Please mark your donation 'Christmas Appeal'
For further details please contact the office on 01792 885532 or call in to Canolfan y Bont to see us.
We would be grateful if you could share this post and would like to thank you all for your continued support

Good morning. While we do appreciate each and every food donation we receive we do need to make sure that everything is in date and unopened. We are unable to pass on out of date food or anything which has been opened to our foodbank recipients. Sadly, this morning we arrived to find two bags of out of date food at the front door!

The winter months are extremely difficult for the most vulnerable in our community. Many will suffer from the impending raise in energy prices which will result in them choosing to either heat their homes or to eat!!. As we approach the coldest time of the year I wonder if anyone either individually or as part of a school or community group could spare an item of non-perishable food for our food bank.
The items we need are as follows:
Savoury Biscuits
Sweet Biscuits
Long Life Juice
Long Life Milk
Squash
Coffee
Tea Bags
Tinned Carrots
Tinned Fruit
Tinned Potatoes
Super Noodles
Shower Gel
Toothpaste
Toothbrushes
Baked Beans
Dried Pasta

This is only part of what we need. The list is endless. If you wish to donate anything else that is not on our list then as long as it is a cupboard food then we are grateful for everything as long as they are in date.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post and for your ongoing support

As Christmas approaches we’d like to take this opportunity to thank each and every business, church, community organisation and resident for their continued donations to our foodbank project.

Your donations really do mean the world to us and make a huge difference to the people we support - we couldn’t continue without your support. Just one tin makes a difference!

Wishing the entire community a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year
