BBC Radio Wales Breakfast visits Taff-Ely Foodbank
It was a great chance to discuss the 2025 Budget and highlight the vital work we do
Last week Taff-Ely Foodbank was excited to welcome the BBC Radio Wales Breakfast team to our Pontyclun warehouse to discuss the UK Government's 2025 Budget.
Our Support Manager, Charmaine, and Partnerships Coordinator, Matt, spoke to Dot Davies about the things we see in our community, the vital role the foodbank plays in alleviating hardship, and our positive reaction to the abolition of the Two-Child Limit, which will help lift hundreds of thousands of children across the country out of extreme poverty - the foodbank had recently joined Trussell's calls to scrap the limit, so this news was particularly well receivd.
We also welcomed guests, including local charities and community groups, businesses, and members of the community, to share their thoughts on the budget and how it will impact them.
Thanks to Dot and the team for coming down and allowing us to highlight the vital work our staff and volunteers do in Taff-Ely. You can listen to the show on BBC Sounds by clicking here:
